Greetings!
I'm running Redhat 5.2 linux, with BIND 8.1.2. The nameserver is
configured as a cache-only server. I connect to my ISP with PPP.
Following a DNS-Howto, I was trying to use my ISP's nameserver for
lookups on the internet, and use my hostfile for local lookups. should
be easy right? huh!
When I try to send mail to another host on my network, sendmail gives
the error: Deferred: network is unreachable
When I do a nslookup on any host on our network (including local host),
I get the error:
*** Can't find server name for address 198.69.28.2: No response from
server
*** Can't find server name for address 198.69.28.3: No response from
server
*** Default servers are not available
My etc/resolv.conf file is as follows:
search netheaven.com #ISP's hostname
nameserver 198.69.28.2 #ISP's nameserver ip
nameserver 198.69.28.3 #ISP's backup nameserver ip
My etc/host.conf file is as follows:
order hosts, bind
multi on
My etc/service.switch file is as follows:
hosts files
aliases files
My /etc/host file has all my local hosts in it.
Now, everything works fine as far as when I'm connected to my ISP. I can
browse the net, send out external email, do nslookups of anyone. except
local hosts.
I can ping all my local hosts, though.
It was working at one time, but I don't know what I did to screw it up.
Any ideas????
Ron
