Reverse Lookup Query...

[Wallingford, Ron]

All,
 
I am a newbie, so I shall try not to take anything for granted. :)  
 
My server's name is GELNN1SS006 and its IP address is 212.161.103.238.
Domain is (genosys-europe.net)
 
I have installed Bind 8.2.2 on Solaris.  I have no appreciable errors in the
syslog.  I can (from my dns server) do a SUCCESSFUL nslookup of say,
www.cisco.com <http://www.cisco.com> , however my ADDRESS of my
localhost/Name server is 0.0.0.0.  See below in Figure 1.
************************************
*** Figure 1. - Nslookup from DNS server
************************************ 
$ nslookup  <http://www.cisco.com/> www.cisco.com
Server:  gelnn1ss006
Address:  0.0.0.0
 
Name:     <http://www.cisco.com/> www.cisco.com
Address:  198.133.219.25 
************************************
??? Can anyone give me a hint as to why ???
 
ALSO
I put a test workstation on the same subnet and pointed its DNS entry to my
new Bind DNS.  A lookup on the workstation to the outside world resolved OK,
however the DNS server's name was UNKNOWN.  See below in Figure 2.

C:\>nslookup www.cisco.com <http://www.cisco.com> 
Cant't find server name for address 212.161.103.238: Non-existent domain
Default servers are not available
Server:  Unknown
Address:  212.161.103.238
 
Name:    www.cisco.com <http://www.cisco.com> 
Address:  198.133.219.25

My setup guide is the O'Reily "DNS and BIND" book.
 
 
Many thanks if anyone can assist.
