Does it have an entry on the /etc/hosts file? Cristian This message sent from BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
Chadley Wilson <chadley@pinteq.co.za> 5/9 6:54 am >>> Greetings,
My DNS server ns.teq (an internal only server), resolves names from the clients it serves, eg: login at client - ping FQDN - get response. but it won't resolve on itself eg: login on server physically - ping FQDN - get unknown host error. I must have missed something small in the config files. Some thing pointing named.conf to allow resolving on localhost, but I can't find it anywhere. Can any one help me here Please? -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX ===================================== -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Simply having the hostname in the /etc/hosts file does not give it DNS search capabilities on the machine, an entry must also be in the /etc/resolv.conf file as it dictates which servers to use for DNS and in which order if you use more than one. Just because DNS is running on the machine does not automatically give the machine access to the DNS process.
