The Problem: Applications seem unable to resolve dns information. ssh and sendmail are examples.
Example: %ssh novell.com ssh: novell.com: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution %nslookup novell.com Server: localhost.inside-polk.skyrunner.net Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: novell.com Address: 192.233.80.9 I've got a system running two versions of bind, to handle resolution of public address and their component private addresses for public ip's that use static nat to hit an internal address. dig and nslookup work fine, and you can choose which instance of bind to use to lookup since they each only listen on particular ip's. Has anyone seen this problem before? I feel sure that it arises from having two instances of bind running on the same machine. I've attached the options section of each independent instance's named.conf file at the bottom of this message. Thanks for your help!
