If the root servers are showing the changes as replicated then
propagation time should not be an issue (most places - I have seen so
many DNS anomalies with 2k/XP clients they are no longer that). If you
took the zones off of the other name servers previously hosting them
before the 24-48 hour expiration period, then you have a problem. Your
best bet would be to get them to repost the zone for a few days.

Also be sure that you have set up on your primary name server a Standard
Primary and on the secondary a Standard Secondary (unless you are
running AD integrated). In addition, if behind a firewall you need to
allow both tcp/udp port 53.

Hope that helps some.

>I have setup a DNS server and I am attempting to start using it for our
DNS
for all of our domain names.  I setup a zone for one of our domain names
and
changed the name server for that domain at the registrar, but now when I
do
a nslookup on that domain name, it gives me a DNS request timed out.
Any
ideas on what I have missed?  I am new to the windows Dns server so any
help
would be most appreciated.

I'm no DNS expert, but if you just recently changed your authoritative
host
it will take some time to replicate, perhaps a day or so?
