AIX4.3.2/BIND8.2.2p5 problem

[schamrde at my-deja.com]

Mark,
sorry if you got the impression that I'm hiding the details,
that wasn't my intention.
Maybe I should have mentioned that the same config is working
perfectly on Linux/bind8.2.2p5.

/etc/named.conf on bbmagvb.bbmag.bbraun.com (212.0.12.219):
options {
	directory "/var/named";

	forward only;
	forwarders { 212.0.16.7; };
	// listen-on { 212.0.12.219; }; was my first try
	// listen-on { 212.0.12.219; 127.0.0.1; }; was my second try
	// no I use no listen-on statement at all

};


zone "." {
	type hint;
	file "misc/cache";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
	type master;
	file "misc/127.0.0";
};

// Forward Mapping

zone "bbraun.com" {
	type slave;
	file "sec/bbraun.com";
	forwarders { };
        masters {
                212.0.12.202;
        };
};

zone "in-addr.arpa" { // drastic, I know
	type slave;
	file "sec/reverse";
	forwarders { };
        masters {
                212.0.12.202;
        };
};

	type slave;

	masters {

	type slave;
	file "sec/212.0.1";
	masters {
		194.120.1.9;
	};
};
/etc/resolv.conf on bbmagvb.bbmag.bbraun.com:
nameserver 212.0.12.202
domain bbmag.bbraun.com

When I use nslookup, I first enter "server bbmagvb.bbmag.bbraun.com" to
switch to the machine I'm interested in.

bbmagvb is behind a firewall, but I'm also behind it (incl. my
workstation bbmag3507 (212.0.4.5)), so I don't think this is relevant
here.

The named statistics. Should I look for something special?

I turned on logging on bbmagvb. Then I did

bbmagvb$ nslookup
  server bbmagvb
Default Server:  bbmagvb.bbmag.bbraun.com
Address:  212.0.12.219
  www.bbmag.bbraun.com.
Server:  bbmagvb.bbmag.bbraun.com
Address:  212.0.12.219
*** bbmagvb.bbmag.bbraun.com can't find www.bbmag.bbraun.com.: No
response from server
  lserver localhost
Default Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1
  www.bbmag.bbraun.com.
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1
*** localhost can't find www.bbmag.bbraun.com.: No response from server

I don't see anything in named.run, i.e. no "datagram from
[212.0.12.219]" or "datagram from [127.0.0.1]"

When I do the same queries from my workstation I get the answer and see
the relevant entries in named.run:

bbmag3507$ nslookup
  server bbmagvb
Default Server:  bbmagvb.bbmag.bbraun.com
Address:  212.0.12.219
  www.bbmag.bbraun.com.
Server:  bbmagvb.bbmag.bbraun.com
Address:  212.0.12.219

Name:  www.bbmag.bbraun.com
Address:  212.0.12.200

In named.run:
Debug level 1
Version = named 8.2.2-P5 Thu Nov 18 16:50:50 MEZ 1999
	root at ns2:/home/root/bind/src/bin/named

Yes.
Hope this helps tracking down the problem.
If you need further information, please let me know.
