I have configured my DNS using OpenPanel and it didn't report any errors. It just adds a DNS config file which is included /etc/bind/named.conf. When I do

 named-checkconf /etc/bind/named.conf

which finishes without reporting any errors, by the virtue of which I assume my configuration is not faulty.

However when I do dig @localhost google.com I get the following:

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 49903

;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

in the answers section. Also, using IntoDNS I get this:

ERROR: One or more of your nameservers did not respond:

The ones that did not respond are:

(My IP address)

And -- of course -- when I try to visit my website using its FQN I get a "server not found" error.

How can I dig up the root of this problem? Where should I be looking?

    Check your nameserver logs for something that we can use to help you debug this. You may also want to run `dig +trace` to see what's going on with your request... – voretaq7 Oct 22 '12 at 15:34
  • Thank you. This is now solved. I realized that the datacenter that hosted my VPS was having some network issues, and their NICs were disabled for a short time. – Milad Naseri Oct 22 '12 at 20:27
