I suggest using the 'resolvconf' package. It creates a framework to manage /etc/resolv.conf when interfaces come online and go offline. Read the /usr/share/doc/resolvconf/README* files for information. > $$$$----------db.mxoffice.in---------begin------------------$$$$$$$$ > $TTL 86400 > mxoffice.in.

Also you need records for the raw domain name. Let me suggest the following. I put this together pretty quick and so double check it but it should be better than you have at this moment. $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA woody.mxoffice.in. hostmaster.mxoffice.in. ( 2007071558 ; Serial no., based on date 21600 ; Refresh after 6 hours 3600 ; Retry after 1 hour 604800 ; Expire after 7 days 3600 ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour ) ; name servers IN NS woody.mxoffice.in. ; mxoffice.in records IN MX 20 mail.mxoffice.in. IN A 192.168.1.55 ; localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 ; rockyLaptop IN A 192.168.1.19 woody IN A 192.168.1.55 IN MX 10 woody.mxoffice.in. mail IN A 192.168.1.55 www IN A 192.168.1.55 ftp IN A 192.168.1.55 > $$$$------------db.1.168.192--------begin------------$$$$$$$$$$$ > LIJIANG:/etc/bind# more db.1.168.192 > $TTL 86400 > @ IN SOA woody.mxoffice.in. > rocky.mxoffice.in.

Again double check but let me suggest the following improvements. $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA mxoffice.in. root.mxoffice.in. ( 2007071558 ; Serial no., based on date 21600 ; Refresh after 6 hours 3600 ; Retry after 1 hour 604800 ; Expire after 7 days 3600 ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour ) ; name servers IN NS woody.mxoffice.in. ; 19 IN PTR rockyLaptop.mxoffice.in. 55 IN PTR woody.mxoffice.in. > $$$$4------------Error---begin$$$ > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nslookup mxoffice.in > Server: 192.168.1.55 > Address: 192.168.1.55#53 > > ** server can't find mxoffice.in: SERVFAIL > $$$---error----end---$$$$$$$$ > > Did my LAN dns server set up correctly?

I believe if you make the above changes that you will be okay for that lookup now. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
