BIND setup: Almost got it, need just a little more help
Hey, Well, I'm not getting any errors in /var/log/messages anymore. Could someone who knows more then me have a look at this and see if there's anything wrong? bash-2.05# cat mailsouthwest.com.zone $TTL 2D mailsouthwest.com. IN SOA test mailsouthwest.com. ( 2001101924 ; serial 1H ; refresh 2H ; retry 1H ; expiry 2H ) ; minimum IN NS test IN MX 10 test test IN A 65.166.138.60 www IN A 65.166.138.61 mail IN CNAME test It must be working *sorta* because I can now ping all the hosts from the test Win2k workstation that's using this box as it's only nameserver. One thing that's kinda strange is I can't ping just the domain - only the hosts: C:\>ping mail.mailsouthwest.com Pinging test.mailsouthwest.com [65.166.138.60] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 65.166.138.60: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255 Reply from 65.166.138.60: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255 Reply from 65.166.138.60: bytes=32 time=16ms TTL=255 Reply from 65.166.138.60: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255 Ping statistics for 65.166.138.60: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 16ms, Average = 4ms C:\>ping www.mailsouthwest.com Pinging www.mailsouthwest.com [65.166.138.61] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 65.166.138.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255 Reply from 65.166.138.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255 Reply from 65.166.138.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255 Reply from 65.166.138.61: bytes=32 time=16ms TTL=255 Ping statistics for 65.166.138.61: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 16ms, Average = 4ms C:\>ping mailsouthwest.com Unknown host mailsouthwest.com.

Modify /etc/resolv.conf to set your default domain to your own domain and to point to the IP addresses of your and other name servers.

Hey thanks - I realized that right after I sent the last post, it works now. Now, any ideas about the resolv.conf part?

on the linux box itself, put search mailsouthwest.com nameserver 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf on your other machines, put the ip of the linux box in for the dns server to query. On Fri, 19 Oct 2001, JW wrote:
