the results of the caching test aren't too encouraging, the error msg doesnt tell me much,
recommended next step is?

perhaps in the meantime you could outline how to configure my setup for your simler,  /etc/hosts approach?

Okay, as Ed's said, 108.220.213.121 isn't an address of your computer,
it's assigned to your public facing side of your first router.  So,
BIND cannot listen on it.  I'd go along with Ed's example:

Run a named server that listens to all interfaces, and allows queries
from any address.  Likewise with the webserver.

If you were doing something tricky with your webserver, it not actually
having that public IP might be an issue, too.  Things can get in a
confused circle if they try to resolve an IP to a name, that name back to an IP, and it's different.

For the time being, let your named server answer all queries for your
domain name with the public addresses.  See if it, then, works as
expected.

Once you've dealt with that, you can consider whether you really want
to do split DNS (answering outside queries with your public IPs, and
internal queries with your internal IPs), or whether you let your
register handle all outside queries (I would), or whether you use
different domain names for inside and outside (that's my approach in my
network).

i wasnt aware of this option/configuration. sounds perfect, then i am able refresh my cert.

after ed's caching test, perhap you guys can guide me to this KISS approach,...
