The DNS works properly with all the clients on the network and does zone transfers properly. However if I try and do an nslookup from the FreeBSD machine itself I get an error message that says "Can't find server name for address 208.140.75.1: Non-existent host/domain" and "Default servers are not available". I have been through the manual and tried everything I know without success. Below are my named.boot and db.127.0.0 file. I also tried generated a localhost file using make-localhost and that did not work either. I would appreciate any suggestions. ======================================================================= Howard Johnson @fax, Inc.
