Hello, dig didn't work.
Context: I am running 3 virtual machines on my laptop;there is DHCP/DNS Bind server, Pxe/NFS server, and test workstation. There is 2 virtual networks; Network External is just a connection Host(My Laptop) and DHCP server, Network Internal is just a connection between DHCP server, Pxe server, and the workstation. The DHCP/DNS server is running iptables, DNS Bind, and dhcp. Goal: Have the DNS running for internal computers and be able to pass DNS internally, this setup as a test and learning environment, and being able to get internet access to the internal network. Problem: I can't get the DNS names to resolve. The DNS server can get resolve external DNS names but not internal one. The pxe server and workstation can't resolve DNS internally or externally, but can ping external IP addresses. Pxe boot is working. Have tested with iptables running and stopped. Named.conf and zone files will be attached.
