[Gllug] BIND NS Order

[Neil Fryer]

Hi All

HOw can I prioritise the order of my NS servers? Here is my Zone file, it
isn't live yet, as I want to set up a tertiary NS server which will be
hosted my me, and the Pri and Sec will be hosted by my ISP, and the order
they are in here is the order that I want them in:

$ORIGIN 12snap-mcd.com.
$TTL 1D
@       IN      SOA     ns.12snap.com. hostmaster.12snap.com. (
                        2002111501 ; serial
                        1D      ; refresh
                        1H      ; retry
                        1D      ; expire
                        1H      ; time to live
                        )
                NS      ns5.positive-internet.com.
                NS      ns1.positive-internet.com.
                NS      ns.12snap.com.
                MX      10 mcdmail.12snap-mcd.com.
mcdmail         A       213.86.173.82
82              PTR     mcdmail

But yet, if I do a "dig ns 12snap-mcd.com", I get this:

; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> ns 12snap-mcd.com
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
