You know, it's amazing how little information you've given us.

Although, I'm no DNS guru I have configured my DNS server and, I far as I
can tell, it works correctly.  If you need help, for starters, post your:

/etc/HOSTNAME
/etc/resov.conf
/etc/named.conf
/var/named/localhost       (or whatever it's called)
/var/named/127             (or whatever it's called)

Subject: [expert] OT DNS Server and nslookup Problems


I am trying to setup a new DNS server under Mandrake 7, to replace our
existing one currently running on Solaris 2.6.

So far as I can see I have done everything correctly.  When I try to
ping a node using the new domain name & server (via resolv.conf) it
works as expected.  However, nslookup returns the following error:

*** Can't find server name for address 10.132.112.245: No response from
server
*** Default servers are not available

(I have never used bind 8 before).  What would be causing this?

Brian.
