> Does anyone know where the domain name is actually set?
DNS does NOT work under a specific domain. It does nameservice for all
domains. The closest thing to "setting" a domain name for DNS is in the
named.boot file, where it is told what file to use for which domain.
>From our named.boot file, the line:
primary cyclades.com named.cyclades
tells named to use the info in "named.cyclades" for looking up info for
the "cyclades.com" domain.
> I suspect this domain naming problem is related to why named is not

There are two reasons that I can think of why named is not responding.
1. You are not set up to use that machine for your nslookup;
2. There is an error in one of the config files that causes named to
reject the file. Turn on debugging and check the logs.
