I just went though this myself..
Did you include a "Domain_suffix: Colornet.com" ?
This helps you use just the machine name instead of the full name.
also try adding the following to the namres.config file
Variable:TIMEOUT:5
Variable:REFMAX:10
Variable:Recurse:1
Variable:NS_RETRANS:2
I found this fixes your type of problem.


Good luck.
