I was using nslookup because of its convenient syntax to do some stuff. My workstation communicates via a gateway which also severs as its name server. I get the following:
nslookup *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.3.1: Non-existent host/domain *** Can't find server name for address ::: No response from server *** Default servers are not available However dig works fine as does "regular" use of DNS. /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.3.1 I started and stopped named and was able to use nslookup for a while. My question for the list is where I might look to find an indication of the error. there is nothing in /var/log/messages or all.log. Sockstat shows named listening on 192.168.3.1. Except for an occasional abnormally long response using ssh DNS also works normally. Thanks for any ideas. _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
