bjcullinan's questions

I am running Apache2 and Bind9 on my home web-server. I have a couple of domains registered and directing towards my server, including bjcullinan.com. I would like to create a website for an open-source project I am starting, located at monolithicmedia.org. I have also reserved the domain monolithicmedia.net. By following monolithicmedia.net, you'll notice that the domain responds with a Forbidden page, because I intentionally haven't configured it in Apache as of yet. However, the monolithicmedia.org domain immediately returns "Server not found". I am wondering if I am missing some requirement of .ORG domains, as I have configured many domains and all of them seem to work just fine. Additionally, the 'dig' command that performs a DNS lookup works just fine up until my IP address (ex dig @209.250.30.30 monolithicmedia.org responds with 1 answer). But, it finally fails with 0 answers when I query my ISPs DNS server. What is it that I am missing? Is there somewhere I have to register as an official organization in order for DNS servers to recognize me? If so, why would my registrar allow me to buy the domain without any additional information?
