Resolve Error

[Khaled Hussein]

Hi all

I found something, when I configure the nameserver in the resolv.conf file
to the real IP address of the server it works fine but when I put 127.0.0.1
or localhost it give me the same error 

Any suggestion please 

Regards,

Khaled,
Couldn't get address for your DNS server?
Are you allowing recursive lookups for that subnet (or DNS 3 for that
matter)?
May try resolving an address that is on your DNS server first (nslookup
without any options---or "dig @{IP of DNS3} -x {IP of DNS3 or other DNS
server}.  Then work your way to the outside world.  Check acl's in
named.conf.  Check your named.log, default.log and syslog for clues.
Otherwise, please submit logs and maybe we can get a better idea of
what's going on.

One more thing to suggest:  I would highly recommend using "dig"
instead of "nslookup".  Nslookup is buggy and without options can
assume a lot, yet tell you very little.
Good luck!
