Hi,

I have configured my machine as DNS server. If I type nslookup I am getting
the prompt :

Default Server : localhost
Address : 127.0.0.1
>

at the prompt if I type IP say 160.1.1.2 then it gives me the correct
hostname scosysv

However if at the prompt I type the hostname scosysv than it gives me error :

*** localhost can't find scosysv : Server failed.

=======================================================

My /etc/named.conf contains the following :

options {
        directory "/var/named";
};
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "root.hints";
};
zone "sco"{
        type master;
        file "pz/sco";
        notify no;
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa"{
        type master;
        file "pz/127.0.0";
};
zone "1.1.160.in-addr.arpa"{
        type master;
        file "pz/160.1.1";
};
