Re: [newbie] More about Bind...
Can you give us more information about what you've done, what is in your config-files etc ? Some thing that goes through my mind now: - before restarting bind, open another terminal and do tail -f /var/log/messages It gives valueable information about possible errors. - Put your loopback in /etc/resolve.conf - use dig for DNS lookups Steven On Mon, 2003-06-09 at 14:56, Yves Arsenault wrote: Hello, I have recently followed a tutorial in the webmin docs on configuring the Bind DNS server, so I`ve added a domain and followed the tutorial as precisely as possible When I run host domain.com serverip It still doesn`t find the domain name.
