After further investigation I discovered the problem is the forwarder is not responding. The DNS server has a private IP address and the forwarder is a public ip address. There is a firewall between the two servers. What is required to get replys back from the forwarder? david On Fri, 15 Dec

Hi Michael If I stop named. All network connections work properly (including ping internet addresses) When I start named I can no longer ping any ip address not in dns. I cannot do a lookup of any ip address not in the local domain All local domain entries are pingable and can be looked up dav

Hi Lenord If I stop named, then ping works correctly. If I ping an address in the DNS then it works. It looks to me like I have DNS configured incorectly for looking up external addresses. david On Fri, 15 Dec 2000, Leonard den Ottolander wrote: > Hi again David, > > > Even a

Well, we're going to have to look more at your networking issues. If you can not ping anything outside your network, you're looking at other problems...not DNS, as Leonard noted. Do you have your gateway and netmask set properly? On Fri, 15 Dec 2000 15:05:48 -0500 (EST), David Brett wrote: >He

Here is the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file. The last two entrys I put in to see if this would help. I also tried nameserver as 127.0.0.1 as well. None of these configurations worked. I did restart named after each change domain company.com search company.com nameserver 10.1.100.9

True...but if "nameserver 127.0.0.1" isn't included in that resolv.conf file, lookups won't work. Also, even if it is included, if the connection to the net isn't there, it won't work, either. In other words, as long as you have a working DNS setup on 127.0.0.1, and a connection to the net, it s

Hi again David, > Even a > ping to an IP address on the internet from the DNS server fails as well. A little oversight from me here. If you can't ping an IP address something else is wrong. You don't need DNS for this, because you are not resolving names in this case. Maybe so

What do you have as the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf file? You need to have at least one valid DNS server listed in that file in order for outside lookups to work. Two or three is even better. On Fri, 15 Dec 2000 12:37:14 -0500 (EST), David Brett wrote: >I have almost figured out how to g

I have almost figured out how to get DNS working. The one thing piece I need help with is requests outside my domain. DNS is working for lookups and reverse lookups within the domain I have set-up. What does not work is the forwarders. i.e. nslookup www.yahooo.com. this fails. Even a ping to
