Can't reload zone data

[Marcus Burrows]

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this.

The trust relationship between two AD domains is broken. When I try to
validate the Trust, it says that it can't contact the other server.

The error message implies that it can't resolve the name. Indeed, in
nslookup I can't resolve the other server's name, it comes up with a
"non-existent domain" error. I can ping the name though.

Following other newsgroup suggestions, I have made some dns servers as
secondaries for the other domain, eg:

server1 is primary server for domain1 and secondary server for domain2
server2 is primary server for domain2 and secondary server for domain1

This produces another but related problem:

server2 cannot reload zone data from server1. (Server1 is the same
server I can't establish a Trust with.)

server2 can reload zone data from server3 though!

It is as if server1 is the problem - somehow its DNS functions are not
working yet I can ping it, I can access shares in it and from it, all
looks okay in its DNS console etc!

But as I say, nslookup won't resolve its name, server2 can't load zone
data from it and AD can't establish a trust with it.

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!
