The host file (/etc/hosts I assume) won't help. You can use /etc/resolv.conf and have nameserver line point to your localhost for testing. Or use dig with the @ argument to set the address of the nameserver to use. For example, "dig @127.0.0.1 www.example.com". Then also try that from outside systems to using the @ with the network interface's address. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
