Bind 9.2.1 Problems

[dbotham at edeltacom.com]

Frank,

See the man page for 'dig', you have typed it wrong.  It should be
something like this:

dig -x 127.0.0.1 @127.0.0.1

if you are trying to dig for  the ptr rr associate with 127.0.0.1 on the
local host (that is, what comes after the @ sign is the name server you are
going to query, and there should not be a space between the '@' and the
name server...)

Aslo, see page 79 of the BIND9 ARM, as bind 9 does not implement the
check-names option...

However, I think it is a little wierd that it is listed in the "Options"
syntax section...


Dave...

Greetings-

I was able to correct the majority of the problems I encountered with bind.
But I have these two problems that seem to be getting the best of me.  When
I start the named service, and check the syslog the following message
appear.

/etc/named.conf:6: option 'check-names' is not implemented  ---  This
message appears when I check the warnings.

Then when i try to do a "dig @ 127.0.0.1 or any of my local zones, I get
this..
dig: couldn't find server '' : Nme or Service not Known

I have been all over web sites and through this Bid/DNS book by O'Reilly
and
can't seem to figure out what these two messages corrulate to.

Frank
