Sounds like a bad routing table. Like the resolve file is set right but the return route for the packets is bad. Had something similar with a win2k box and Pcanywhere. It would receive the first packet but couldn't return them.
A bad routing table on this Redhat v9 box, or a bad routing table on the next hop router?
I don't see how routing could be an issue: All other services (web, ssh, etc) work 100% from and to this box. The only problem is with DNS, and _only_ with www.apple.com, and www.yahoo.com.
Something someone else picked up:
Both www.apple.com and www.yahoo.com are CNAMEs for www.apple.com.akadns.net and www.yahoo.akadns.net respectively.
An attempt to connect to http://akadns.net returns a redirect to http://www.akadns.net, an address which does not exist.
Anybody heard of Akadns before? Anyone know why a Redhat v9 box cannot resolve their queries specifically?
This is Akamai - a world wide distributed web system that runs primarily via DNS and some fancy layer4 routing.
your problem wont be bind 9 - no doubt someone else will come up with the answer soon - I'll have a think about it in the morning tho if no one else responds.. (2am here)
