So far, so good.

Have your named records truly been updated?  Did you hit "Save" after 
adding the new records?   Check the 
/var/named/chroot/var/named/db.domain.com file to make sure that the 
file looks as you would expect.

If that's in order and you're still not getting a lookup, then restart 
named service - on 510X and 5207/5208R boxes we have seen instances 
where named does not restart nicely and has to be killed and then started.

Still having trouble after that?  Feel free to open a ticket with our 
guys and we can have a look-see for you.
