SERVFAIL on any BIND request

[AlexB@]

dig @212.227.100.180 erfolgsgut.cl any - for example -

The Domain is zoned on my BIND Server. I keep on getting SERVFAIl Messages. Firewall is not active.

- where will I find the logfiles of BIND?
- what to check/look for and where?

the Service goot hooked up a couple of days ago, due to a buggy backup over night. The named.conf file became corrupted. Same happend saturday night again. named did not start then anymore, and I found several errors in the named.conf.

Need some hints there please..

Normally it goes to the syslog (/var/log/messages), at least on RH type distros.

Bind also has specific logging options which you can put into named.conf, Google is your friend.

And you don't have *any* good backups from the recent past?
