Re: [expert] caching dns server
you did try nslookup hostname (nslookup www.linux.org) if you try just nslookup without a host to actually look up, you will get this response.

Re: [expert] caching dns server
Hi, If you look at the error message, you will see that it says that it cannot find a name for the address 192.168.0.25. The problem is that there is no proper reverse DNS mapping on the DNS server. If you create a reverse DNS entry for 192.168.0.x, you should be able to run nslookup. For more information, look at the DNS HOWTO. Note that this problem does not prevent other programs from using the DNS server. It is just that nslookup does not work properly. Try browsing the network from that machine and you will be able to lookup names.

Re: [expert] caching dns server
I am just looking at this as part of checking everything on the new 7.2 install is working. On 7.1, I set the cacheing DNS up from scratch and nslookup was fine. The question is, how can I reliably confirm that cacheing DNS is working? The stats are a bit obtuse and I have not been able to find a reference of what they are tring to tell me - can someone point me to a guide?
