Have installed bind on a linux server. Only Intranet, range 192.168.1.xxx, server is 192.168.1.20. If i use nslookup, i cannot find the dns-server, but nslookup localhost 127.0.0.1 works, something is missing, but what ? No external network is accessible, only intranet. linux:/var/named # nslookup *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.20: Server failed *** Default servers are not available Starting sequence in /var/log/messages May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: starting (/etc/named.conf). named 8.2.3-T9B Fri Jan 19 09:43:33 GMT 2001 ^Iroot@kneser:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/bind8-8.2.3/bin/named May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: master zone "schmid.de" (IN) loaded (serial 20010429) May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: master zone "1.168.192.in-addr-arpa" (IN) loaded (serial 20010502) May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: master zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" (IN) loaded (serial 42) May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: master zone "localhost" (IN) loaded (serial 42) May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: hint zone "" (IN) loaded (serial 0) May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: listening on [127.0.0.1].53 (lo) May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: listening on [192.168.1.20].53 (eth0) May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2802]: Forwarding source address is [0.0.0.0].1038 May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2803]: group = named May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2803]: user = named May 2 10:12:28 linux named[2803]: Ready to answer queries.
