Hi, thanks again burton, I try various things. I am pretty sure my resolver does his work well. I past here more details on my errors, it seem that only netbios and names of external IP address are reported correctly:
Address Resolution DNS sniffed: DNS Packets sniffed.....457 less 'requests'.....228 less 'failed'.....218 less 'reverse dns' (in-addr.arpa).....9 DNS Packets processed.....2 Stored in cache (includes aliases).....2 IP to name - ipaddr2str(): Total calls.....208 ....OK.....5 ....Total not found.....203 ........Not found in cache.....203 ........Too old in cache.....0 Queued - dequeueAddress(): Total Queued.....203 Not queued (duplicate).....0 Maximum Queued.....8 Current Queue.....0 Resolved - resolveAddress(): Addresses to resolve.....203 ....less 'Error: No cache database'.....0 ....less 'Found in ntop cache'.....0 Gives: # gethost (DNS lookup) calls.....203 DNS lookup calls: DNS resolution attempts.....203 ....Success: Resolved.....10 ....Failed.....193 ........HOST_NOT_FOUND.....193 ........NO_DATA.....0 ........NO_RECOVERY.....0 ........TRY_AGAIN (don't store).....0 ........Other error (don't store).....0 DNS lookups stored in cache.....203 Host addresses kept numeric.....193 All failed are for host not found!!! I am on a linux box with redhat9. I have put in /etc/hosts the right info for the loopback and for the ip of the machine. I have in /etc/host.conf force the order to: bind,hosts I have put in /etc/resolv.conf the name of our dns that works with no problems and also the string domain with our internal domain. I don't know what to do. Filippo.
Again more details on DNS resolution problem
