Hello,
I jjust installed Bind 9.1.3. In my resolv.conf file I
have listed:
search blah.net
nameserver 127.0.0.1
The /etc/nsswitch.conf has:
host files dns
A tail on /var/adm/messages shows bind starting up
fine:
Jul 23 23:54:20 creole named[2990]: starting BIND
9.1.3 -d 4 -c ../named.conf -u named
Jul 23 23:54:20 creole named[2990]: the default for
the 'auth-nxdomain' option isnow 'no'
The problem is that when I run nslookup I recieve this
response:
Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: No
response from server
Now If I change the 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf to
the public IP of the machines NIC everything will work
just fine. Can someone give me some direction here.
The forward and reverse zones for the localhost look
like this:
creole# cat db.0.0.127
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA myhost.mydomain.net
root.myhost.mydomain.net. (
961230
; Serial
3600
; Refresh
300
; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600
) ; Minimum
IN NS myhost.mydomain.net.
1.0.0.127 IN PTR localhost.
AND:
creole# cat db.localhost
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA myhost.mydomain.net myhost.mydomain.net.
(
961230
; Serial
3600
; Refresh
300
; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600
) ; Minimum
IN NS myhost.mydomain.net.
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
Also when I do a netstat -a I don't see port 53 listed
under TCP I do however see this under UDP:
UDP
Local Address Remote Address State
-------------------- -------------------- -------
myhost.mydomain.net.domain Idle
Is this the named socket? If so why is it only
listening on a UDP port?
Thanks in advance.
Klaus
