I believe I did - it certainly has the "new" style named.boot, etc. : :> I realise this doesn't assist you in solving your immediate problem, but :> I'm not so sure that the Debian package is to blame.. : :Well, I'm not really authoritative on bind matters, but I thought that on :previous ( < 1.3 ) installations, you could issue "nslookup localhost" :and it would work then. Now I get: : : calypso# nslookup localhost : *** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Non-existent host/domain : *** Default servers are not available : Here's what I get when I execute 'nslookup localhost': Server: endor Address: 0.0.0.0 Name: localhost.cfni.com Address: 127.0.0.1 Notice that I did defy the package default of specifying the local IP address as a nameserver in resolv.conf and instead left it as 0.0.0.0, as the first edition BIND book suggests. I have no idea if this matters :) (I also would not call myself a BIND guru). I also see that I have a localhost entry in my primary SOA zone file ... and I don't have a named.local file, which named.options seems to expect to exist. It looks like I may have gotten lucky :) If you like I can send snippets of my zone files. etc. if that would somehow be helpful. -- Nathan Norman : Hostmaster CFNI : [EMAIL PROTECTED] finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key and other stuff Key fingerprint = CE 03 10 AF 32 81 18 58 9D 32 C2 AB 93 6D C4 72 -- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
