Exclamation DNS SERVER WITH ERROR: "Server Can't Find : SERVFAIL"
I did a basic installation of Debian, which will be used for a mail server "ZIMBRA". I Installed the bind9 and did the configuration of the zones and created the files in the directory / etc / bind.
After the process I typed the following command to test my DNS:

nslookup mail.hotelpart.com and presented the following error:



**************************************************
* mail:/# nslookup mail.hotelpart.com *
* Server: 127.0.0.1 *
* Address: 127.0.0.1#53 *
* *
*** server can't find mail.hoteldofrade.com: SERVFAIL *
**************************************************

I would enlist the help of you to resolve this problem that I have some time I'm trying to solve:

Easier to stay I put my files in message: The files named.conf, db.hotelpart.com and db.111.20.11.200.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

File named.conf


// This is the primary configuration file for the BIND DNS server named.
//
// Please read /usr/share/doc/bind9/README.Debian.gz for information on the
// structure of BIND configuration files in Debian, *BEFORE* you customize
// this configuration file.
//
// If you are just adding zones, please do that in /etc/bind/named.conf.local

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";

// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone "." {
type hint;
file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};

// be authoritative for the localhost forward and reverse zones, and for
// broadcast zones as per RFC 1912

zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.local";
};

zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.127";
};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.0";
};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.255";
};

zone "hotelpart.com"{
notify no;
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.hotelpart.com";
};

zone "111.20.11.200.in-addr.arpa"{
notify no;
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.111.20.11.200";
};

// zone "com" { type delegation-only; };
// zone "net" { type delegation-only; };

// From the release notes:
// Because many of our users are uncomfortable receiving undelegated answers
// from root or top level domains, other than a few for whom that behaviour
// has been trusted and expected for quite some length of time, we have now
// introduced the "root-delegations-only" feature which applies delegation-only
// logic to all top level domains, and to the root domain. An exception list
// should be specified, including "MUSEUM" and "DE", and any other top level
// domains from whom undelegated responses are expected and trusted.
// root-delegation-only exclude { "DE"; "MUSEUM"; };

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";

Have you updated /etc/resolv.conf to point to the BIND server ? Please post the following
Code:
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig hotelpart.com mx
dig hotelpart.com any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes

Have you updated your /etc/resolv.conf to point to your BIND installation (not sure as you did not post that bit of information )

Your hosts file is also incorrect, it should be like this:

Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
201.18.17.118 mail.hotelpart.com mail
and your MX record points to:

Code:
mail IN A 200.11.20.111
which is not the IP address of the server in your hosts file.

What is the IP address of the Zimbra server? Is the Zimbra server sitting behind a firewall or NAT router or is it on a Public IP?

The IP adress of my server Zimbra is 200.11.20.111.
He is behind a router CISCO 1700.
This IP is a Public IP.

Then you should modify the hosts file as I've shown you, does that solve the problem?
