I got a server and am trying to setup BIND (8.2.3) but get the
following error when doing nslookup. I read thru the mailing list
archives and found something may be wrong with the reverse lookup
file, but I can't see anything wrong with it (or the other files). The
files are given below.
Please help if possible.
*** Can't find server name for address 111.222.333.444: No information
*** Default servers are not available
I made these files for mydomain.com and IP 111.222.333.444 (actual
domain name and IP substituted later)
db.cache is the root cache data available at
ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/ but not displayed down here
