Hi,
I am running a DNS server on a local network. Here is the output
from nslookup :
[root@zaphod /root]# nslookup
Default Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
> ls -d megadodo.umb
[localhost]
$ORIGIN megadodo.umb.
@ 1D IN SOA zaphod ford (
1998111801 ; serial
8H ; refresh
2H ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum
1D IN NS zaphod
1D IN TXT "The Hitch-hikers Guide to the
Galaxy"
1D IN MX 10 zaphod
ftp 1D IN CNAME marvin
marvin 1D IN MX 10 zaphod
1D IN HINFO "Intel 586, 200MHz MMX" "Linux

1D IN A 192.168.0.1
zaphod 1D IN MX 10 zaphod
1D IN HINFO "Intel 386, 33MHz" "Linux

1D IN A 192.168.0.2

'zaphod' is the host running the nameserver. If, however, I connect to
the internet via a dialup link and do 'nslookup' on 'marvin' I get :
pgmr$nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.2: Non-existent
host/domain
Default Server: ns01.ny.us.ibm.net
Address: 165.87.194.244
>
Why does it say this? I can ping, and telnet to 'zaphod' from marvin
even though the /etc/hosts file does not contain an entry for 'zaphod'
- which indicates to me that the address resolution is being done by
the nameserver.

There is no such thing as luck. 'Luck' is nothing but an absence of bad luck.
