hello list, I was able to make that correction:
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "master/summitnjhome-reverse.d b"; }; zone "summitnjhome.com" { type master; file "master/summitnjhome.db"; }; is now in named.conf. otherwise named.conf is identical to the way it is higher up in the thread, and summitnjhome-reverse.db is untouched. But as of now, forward lookups work, but reverse time out: LBSD2# host sum1 sum1.summitnjhome.com is an alias for LCENT01.summitnjhome.com. LCENT01.summitnjhome.com has address 192.168.1.42 LBSD2# nslookup sum1 Server: 192.168.1.44 Address: 192.168.1.44#53 sum1.summitnjhome.com canonical name = LCENT01.summitnjhome.com. Name: LCENT01.summitnjhome.com Address: 192.168.1.42 LBSD2# host 192.168.1.42 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached LBSD2# nslookup 192.168.1.42 ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.1.44, trying next server ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Now I could probably understand it FAILING due to perhaps a type-o in the config. But I am genuinely curious as to how forward lookups will work and reverse lookups time out. regards tim On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 9:36 AM, Tim Dunphy <bluethu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok guys..
