Hello Everybody,
The contents of the db.local.127.0.0 file are
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (1999021201 86400 3600 1209600
86400)
IN NS localhost.
1 IN PTR localhost.
I did not have this file setup, all I had done was just use touch to
create the file, so atleast the first problem has been taken care of, the
other problem is that I can get forward and reverse lookups of the names in
the same domain, but if I try to go outside the domain then nslookup does
not work.
