Romero" To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org cc: freebsd-install@freebsd.org Subject: Help with name server reverse lookup Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have setup (I thougth) a FreeBSD (2.1.5) server with name server, and I'm able to connect to the internet (I'm sending this from a machine connected to the server). The name server works finding addresses, but I was trying to connect to ftp://ftp.uu.net and this is the message I received: (part of it) Sorry, we're unable to map your IP address 206.48.253.70 to a hostname in the DNS. This is probably because your nameserver does not have matching A and PTR record for your address in its tables, or because your reverse nameservers are not registered. Whe I do a 'nslookup 206.48.253.70' it responds with si1.hon.hn but when I do a 'nslookup 206.48.253.70 my.isp.ns' it responds with 'my.isp.ns can't find 206.48.253.70: Non-existent host/domain'. If I do a 'nslookup si1.hon.hn my.isp.ns' it responds with si1.hon.hn and 206.48.253.70. What can I fix the error? Thanks
