Hi all,
I have a problem with a particuler server that is
acting as a backup DNS.
It will not respond to queries on the loop back ip
address of "127.0.0.1"
It is completely a backup DNS, with no "master"
domains except the zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" ..
The /etc/resolv.conf :
nameserver 127.0.0.1
domain mydomain.com
But when I change the IP address in this file from
"127.0.0.1" to "10.1.1.1" (the local IP for a NIC) DNS
works perfectly.
The /etc/namedb/named.0.0.127.rev file does appears to
be fine with an entry for "localhost" ie
1 IN PTR localhost.
The /etc/namedb/named.conf file has the appropriate
lines:
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.0.0.127.rev";
};
When I try to do:
# nslookup 127.0.0.1
I get:
Server: dns0.mydomain.com
Address: 10.1.1.1
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
The problem I have is if I set the "nameserver" line
in the /etc/resolv.conf to "127.0.0.1" DNS does not
respond anymore... this is very strange!!
Has anyone go any ideas???
Regards
Greg
