I am having problems getting SA to do the rbl checks. It appears that my /etc/resolv.conf file keeps getting built with 127.0.0.1 as the first name server. Other network utilities appear to be able to bypass this and try each nameserver before giving up but the Net::DNS perl module is not that smart. It tries the first nameserver, gets a SERVFAIL from localhost and then gives up.
I have edited the offending file to move localhost back down but everytime I start the network, it rewrites resolv.conf and adds loopback as the first nameserver.
Does anyone know where this behavior is coming from and how I can remove it. I have checked several other boxes with Mandrake 9.1 and none of them appears to even be getting the loopback address in the resolv.conf file but I am not sure how it is happening on this one box so I don't know how to repair it.
Look also at /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and /etc/ppp/options. I don't know if
this relates but, when I installed djbdns, I wrote to these files,
commenting usepeerdns in /etc/ppp/options. That seemed to stop the
overwriting of resolv.conf for me but not sure if it applies to your
situation. It seems one used to be able to write resolv.conf and have it stick ;p
