Hi,
I have recently started to learn about Linux and have installed RH9 on an
old PC and I'm having problems getting BIND v9.2.1 to work.
Named is configured as a simply caching nameserver. With named running,
when I use dig for addresses in domains such as .uk .fr and .de seem to
resolve correctly while others such as .com .org .net etc do not:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] named]# dig bbc.co.uk
; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> bbc.co.uk
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

I have tried increasing the timeout ( dig +time=10 ibm.com ) but the result
is the same.
Key named files are as follows:
=================================================
named.conf
// generated by named-bootconf.pl
options {
directory "/var/named";
query-source address * port 53;
};
//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
//local loopback
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
// allow-update { none; };
};
//ip to name mapping
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "db.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
allow-update { none; };
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";
=================================================
named.local
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh
1h ; Retry
1w ; Expire
1h ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost.
1 IN PTR localhost.
=================================================
db.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost (
5 ; serial
28800 ; refresh
7200 ; retry
604800 ; expire
86400 ; ttk
)
@ IN NS xps.
1 IN PTR st530.
2 IN PTR Inspiron.
3 IN PTR Dell4100.
4 IN PTR xps.
=================================================
resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
=================================================
The Linux PC is running on a small network with an adsl
modem/router/firewall (Alcatel st530). TCP and UDP ports 53 are open. If
PCs point at the gateway for DNS resolution then all domain names are
resolved.
I have read the various how-to's and borrowed the O'Reilly book but can't
find any information as to what may be the cause.
Any suggestions?
TIA
Paul Shepherd
