Named configuration problems
I've been working to set up a name server for a local school server and have run into a configuration problem. Could someone spot this problem for me? Here's the situation:
The domain is "colebrook.k12.nh.us" This doesn't resolve. However, if I address the machine, e.g. "academy.colebrook.k12.nh.us" everything works fine.
When doing host command, here's what I get:
[~] $ host -va colebrook.k12.nh.us
Query about colebrook.k12.nh.us for record types ANY
Trying colebrook.k12.nh.us ...
Query done, 3 answers, status: no error
The following answer is not authoritative:
colebrook.k12.nh.us 2887 IN NS academy.colebrook.k12.nh.us
!!! colebrook.k12.nh.us NS host academy.colebrook.k12.nh.us is not canonical
colebrook.k12.nh.us 2887 IN NS elementary.colebrook.k12.nh.us
colebrook.k12.nh.us 2887 IN NS primary.colebrook.k12.nh.us
Authoritative nameservers:
colebrook.k12.nh.us 2887 IN NS academy.colebrook.k12.nh.us
!!! colebrook.k12.nh.us NS host academy.colebrook.k12.nh.us is not canonical
colebrook.k12.nh.us 2887 IN NS elementary.colebrook.k12.nh.us
colebrook.k12.nh.us 2887 IN NS primary.colebrook.k12.nh.us
Additional information:
academy.colebrook.k12.nh.us 2871 IN A 206.243.128.2
elementary.colebrook.k12.nh.us 2883 IN A 198.112.201.66
primary.colebrook.k12.nh.us 2731 IN A 198.112.201.98
What does the "not canonical" error refer to?
The following is my /var/named/named.colebrook file:
;
@ IN SOA colebrook.k12.nh.us. root.colebrook.k12.nh.us. (
199811302 ; serial, todays date + todays

; Actual machines below:

HINFO "Cyrix 6x86-P166+" "Debian GNU/Linux 2.0.x"
I haven't put the secondary name servers or anything else in until I get this working. Can anyone spot anything wrong? If so, I'd greatly appreciate any hints/advice/tips, etc.
Thanks in advance,
