I think I followed the bind manual and poked around /var/named and it
has been working OK for a few weeks until I pointed my browser to
"localhost" and then I tried "host localhost". It can resolve
"127.0.0.1" back to "localhost.localhost." fine, but if I try
my name "localhost" or "localhost.localhost", I get this:
";; connection timed out; no servers could be reached"
(at least until I tried it just now while on-line, when it
works OK, resolving my modem/router's localhost, I suppose).
/etc/hosts:
::1 localhost.localhost localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localhost localhost
10.0.0.4 localhost.localhost localhost
/etc/hosts.conf:
# Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf, do not edit
hosts
bind
/etc/resolv.conf (same with this file missing):
nameserver 127.0.0.1
I can "ping localhost" OK.
I thought that "host" should use the same stub resolver as "ping"
before trying "bind".
Can I not use "/etc/hosts" with a cache-only named?
Must I have an authoritive zone for "localhost"?
Or what?
Thanks.
