HI, I am running BIND 9.6-ESV-R5-P1 on a Solaris 10 server. I can run queries without specifying a name server on my Solaris servers successfully. When I try to run a query on a Solaris 10 virtual server, I get "connection timed out; no servers could be reached" error.
If I add the name servers from our main campus (or 8.8.8.8) to the virtual server's resolv.conf file, then dig will use the other name server and skip my name server to resolve the query which is successful. If i use dig and specify my master name server, then the query works fine. I do not understand why the virtual server cannot find the name servers on my campus (my building) unless I specify it.
