Hi all,
Thanks for your replies, Jack, Ray, and Kenneth.

This was the point. My server was not listening to 172.16.1.1

My linux box is not connected to the Net but a solo standing machine.

This is where the error was and which caused 172.16.1.1 not to come up.
now I get these 2 lines in the messages when doing "ndc stop/start"
Jul 25 10:07:48 narada named[3018]: listening on [127.0.0.1].53 (lo)
Jul 25 10:07:48 narada named[3018]: listening on [172.16.1.1].53 (ppp0)
where as earlier I only got.

2. Do 'nslookup -'. Now, at the new prompt type 'server <server name>'
where <server name> is the hostname of the DNS name server. Now do 'ls -d
metta.lk > <filename>' where filename is a file you are outputting the
command output to. If the file is not too big, could you post it on the
list please? Otherwise, mail it to me.
This was also interesting I could never get this command to work
>ls -d
but it works now and here are the details
I have a small question more about the SOA record.
Which of the below lines are correct ?
In 1. I have used domain name and in 2. I have used hostname.
domain-name account.domain-name
@ IN SOA col7.metta.lk. metta.col7.metta.lk. (
host-name account.domain-name
@ IN SOA narada.col7.metta.lk. metta.col7.metta.lk. (
The below result indicates that example 2 hostname is the correct way.
Please give you advices.
Regards,
Jacob
