nslookup: can't find server name for ... <again, sorry>

[Tony Da Silva]

Hi All,

I am having this irritating error message when trying to do a nslookup "cannot find server name for address 192.168.1.5. Server failed. Default servers are not available."
I have gone through the FAQ posted here and everything seems ok. Also I have noticed that if I stop NDC and issue ps -aux there is still a named running - but issuing kill does not kill it. ?

Here is the files I have on the test machine:

named.conf
options {
        directory "/var/named";
        };

zone "idws.com" {
        type master;
        file "idws.com";
        };

zone    "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
        };

zone    "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "192.168.1.5";
        };

Any help will be appreciated as I am relatively new to this - and going through it myself over and over again might be why I don't find the problem ... ?

Thanking you in advance,
Tony
