Make sure your A records end in a . -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Koyo Kumagai Sent: Friday, December 03, 1999 8:16 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FW: How to setup DNS on FreeBSD 3.3 Okay, so I figured out that 3.x (or bind 8) uses named.conf instead of named.boot... Now, I've tried a few things (without much documentation in hand) and it responds but I keep getting this: If I look up for a FQDN in my domain (say mydomain.com) and type > hostname.mydomain.com the result is this Name: hostname.mydomain.com.mydomain.com Address: (address is corect) I can't just look up with the hostname, and when I put in a FQDN, it appends my domain name after it in the result. Anyone have any suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Koyo Kumagai Sent: Saturday, December 04, 1999 10:55 AM To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How to setup DNS on FreeBSD 3.3 I'm trying to setup DNS for my newly installed 3.3, and since I just got my domain and leased line, I'm anxious to get it going. I'm reading this old FreeBSD guide book for 2.2.6, and I follow their instructions but none of them work. I keep getting this type of error: *** localhost can't find xxxxxx: No response from server Are the configuration files formatted differently or something from 3.0? Please guide me to any web sites that may help me. Many thanks in advance. ----------------------------------------------- Koyo Kumagai, MCSE Merrill Lynch Japan Incorporated Enterprise Technology Services Tel +81-3-3213-8178 Fax +81-3-3213-7147 E-mail Koyo_Kumagai@japan.ml.com ----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
