I am having problems resolving hosts with freebsd. Specificly i have problems resolving hosts @ united airlines. These include www.ual.com, www.united.com, www.ua2go.com, www.itn.net. Some of them use different dns servers but they still have the problem. I have tried to look into the problem but can't find it.
Works from here, 4.7 RELEASE running bind.
Are those machines on the same network? The Windows machine probably isn't doing resolution itself, so what nameserver is it using? Is your FreeBSD machine using the same one, or is it running a nameserver itself?The problem doesn't occur on solaris 2.8/2.9, or windows.
More specifics would help, but I doubt it's a FreeBSD issue. Places to look:I am running FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE, and the box is not behind a firewall. I have tried having the box resolve again multiple DNS servers with the same result. Does anyone have any ideas, or are experiencing the same problem?
How is your machine represented to the Internet? (what does its name, IP address, reverse lookup look like) How is this information different than the boxes that are working? External DNS servers may (unusually) have restrictions on who they'll respond to.
Are you running a DNS server locally, or are you pointed somewhere else? (resolv.conf) How does this relate to how the other boxes are configured?
When you say "can't resolve", what do you mean? Does the query never get issued, does it not get a response, or is the response not useful/correct?
