They pointed out that I was missing a leading "(" before the serail number.
My bad..!!!. Thanx for pointing it out. Also I found out that the entry for
NS resource record in one of my "db" files was in-correct, which I corrected
and now things are working fine.
Once again the list has come to rescue..:)
