I am running freebsd 5.4-STABLE on an IBM e-series 330 server. I have recently started playing with DNS and have been largely successful. However, nslint reports the following errors:
nslint: missing "a": localhost. -> 127.0.0.1
nslint: missing "a": localhost.org. -> 0.0.0.1
If I add the line:
localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1
to my zone file, the first nslint error message goes away, but I then see the following message in my /var/log/messages file upon named startup:
Jan 30 18:58:55 gilmer named[15485]: master/gilmer.org:16: ignoring out-of-zone data (localhost)
So which is correct? Should I insert the A record in the zone file and ignore the nslint message, or should I leave it out and ignore the named message? Is there something else improperly configured on my system?
What about the second nslint message above? Why am I getting a complaint about 0.0.0.1?
My /etc/namedb/master/gilmer.org file looks like this:
$TTL 3600
gilmer.org. IN SOA ns1.gilmer.org. admin.gilmer.org. (
20060126 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
900 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600 ) ; Minimum
;DNS Servers
@ IN NS @
; Machine Names
localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1
ns1 IN A 69.46.128.60
@ IN A 69.46.128.60
;Aliases
mail IN CNAME @
www IN CNAME @
; MX Record
@ IN MX 10 @
(Yes, I know this configuration is a little strange, but right now, I am using one server to do everything until I get the hang of DNS.)
My /etc/namedb/master/localhost.rev file looks like this:
; From: @(#)localhost.rev 5.1 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
; $FreeBSD: src/etc/namedb/PROTO.localhost.rev,v 1.6 2000/01/10 15:31:40 peter Exp $
;
; This file is automatically edited by the `make-localhost' script in
; the /etc/namedb directory.
;
$TTL 3600
@ IN SOA ns1.gilmer.org. admin.gilmer.org. (
20060126 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh

IN NS ns1.gilmer.org.
1 IN PTR localhost.
Thanks for the help.
