Hi guys. I have two separate boxes each running an instance of tinydns:
    ns1.voxpak.com  ->  202.168.41.222
    ns2.voxpak.com  ->  202.168.41.238

Originally, they were using the exact same data and data.cdb files: I'd 
create data.cdb on ns1, copy it over to ns2, and restart tinydns on both 
machines.

When I ran the following commands, ns1 would respond properly, but ns2 
would say that it's not authoritative:
    dig @202.168.41.222 www.voxpak.com
    dig @202.168.41.238 www.voxpak.com

Here's a snippet from my original data file:
    .voxpak.com:202.168.41.222:ns1.voxpak.com:259200
    .voxpak.com:202.168.41.238:ns2.voxpak.com:259200
    =altcall.com:202.168.41.170
    +www.voxpak.com:202.168.41.170

When I switched the order of the NS records on ns2 and re-made data.cdb , 
ns2 responded to the dig command I listed above. What did I do wrong?

Thanks for your help,
-- Nick
