I have a FreeBSD 2.1 machine on which I have several alias IP
addresses. I am using the name server on that machine as the primary
for several domains whose primary takes one of the alias IP addresses.
The problem is that, using nslookup, if I set the server to be
one of the alias IP addresses and type=any and query the domain, the
name server just times out.
To be exact:
In named.boot:
; Besys primary server
primary besys.es besyshosts
In besyshosts:
;Names and aliases
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
antares IN A 194.74.92.30
In rc.local:
#Add Beta Systems address
ifconfig de0 alias 194.74.92.30 netmask 0xffffffff
route add 194.74.92.30 127.0.0.1
Now, from any other machine:
rigel# nslookup
Default Server: rigel.luznet.es
Address: 194.74.92.2
> server 194.74.92.30
Default Server: antares.besys.es
Address: 194.74.92.30
> set type=any
> besys.es
Server: antares.besys.es
Address: 194.74.92.30
(here, using debug, I just get timeouts)
^C
>
However, if I set the server to the primary IP address for the
interface, (i.e. not an alias):
rigel# nslookup
Default Server: rigel.luznet.es
Address: 194.74.92.2
> server 194.74.92.6
Default Server: arcturus.luznet.es
Address: 194.74.92.6
> set type=any
> besys.es
Server: arcturus.luznet.es
Address: 194.74.92.6
besys.es
origin = antares.besys.es

besys.es preference = 0, mail exchanger = antares.besys.es
besys.es preference = 5, mail exchanger = rigel.luznet.es
besys.es preference = 50, mail exchanger = relay.bt.net
besys.es nameserver = antares.besys.es
besys.es nameserver = ns0.bt.net
besys.es nameserver = sun.rediris.es
antares.besys.es internet address = 194.74.92.30
ns0.bt.net internet address = 194.72.6.51
sun.rediris.es internet address = 130.206.1.2
rigel.luznet.es internet address = 194.74.92.2
relay.bt.net internet address = 194.72.6.52

What am I doing wrong?
