Mikkel and others,
It worked ! Then i tried to add the other machines too ..
First I added to the db.192.168.1
254 IN PTR server.adventus.cxm.
3 IN PTR sc3.adventus.cxm.
etc
when the lookup for sc3.adventus.cxm. did not work
I added to the db.adventus
server IN A 192.168.1.254
sc3 IN A 192.168.1.3
etc ..
but # nslookup 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.3 fails .....
Secondly the machine 'server' has a nickmane 'www'
How can i setup DNS for www.adventus.cxm ?
Thanks a ton already !!!!
Anurag
