On a brand new RHEL4 installation, I've having problems with Net::DNS:

Dig is able to find apache.org. I've seen some posts on downgrading Net::DNS, but I can't find explicit instructions on how to do it.

I installed it via CPAN inside perl.


Steven,

I use a local DNS cache on my machine, and this for some reason is confusing the tests. When I configure the server to use "real" DNS servers, that test "passes" without problems, so I thought it's just a problem on how the test was designed. I "force" installed the upgrade and added the following in my "local.cf":

#
## Force DNS
##
dns_available yes

Bingo... that did the trick, and now DNS checks are enabled and have not had problems with my setup. I even changed the configuracion back to use my local DNS cache and still have not seen problems...

Hope it helps.
