asked for named to find your zone file in /etc/etc/named.local? The
directive directory "/etc"; lets you specify your zone files without
a path.
Also according to my docs, you are missing an "in" in the named.conf

should have it's first line as
zone "112.132.10.in_addr.arpa" in {
although I expect that what you have may be a legal abbreviation.
Finally, do you have two nameservers selected? It seems to me that

point to the same thing.
Hope this helps.

I provided as little information as I did in the hope that someone would
recognize my problem and be able to help me, without me swamping the
list with lots of data. The files are:

10.129.62.21;
10.25.64.21;
};
pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
};
zone "112.132.10.in_addr.arpa"{
type master;
file "/etc/oerl.au.rev";
notify no;
};
zone "oerl.au"{
type master;
file "/etc/oerl.au.hosts";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa"{
type master;

};
/etc/oerl.au.hosts

RE: [expert] OT DNS Server and nslookup Problems
You know, it's amazing how little information you've given us. Although, I'm no DNS guru I have configured my DNS server and, I far as I can tell, it works correctly. If you need help, for starters, post your: /etc/HOSTNAME /etc/resov.conf /etc/named.conf /var/named/localhost (or whatever it's called) /var/named/127 (or whatever it's called) Bill -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brian Schroeder Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2000 11:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] OT DNS Server and nslookup Problems I am trying to setup a new DNS server under Mandrake 7, to replace our existing one currently running on Solaris 2.6.

However, nslookup returns the following error: are you running 'nslookup - localhost' or 'nslookup - your.boxes.ip.address' to test it?

What would be causing this? Oh, a semicolon or curly bracket out of place . Seriously, I find that the syntax for bind is pretty unforgiving, but Mandrake stuffs some error information into the system log. Check and see which zone is getting rejected. -Chuck Burkins -- Chuck Burkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Error Message Haiku: Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
