I've been looking all over and if this one is posted somewhere, I do apologize. I'm using 2 FreeBSD machines for DNS. I just set them up a few days ago. When I set up the DNS originally, everthing worked fine. I altered our /etc/resolv.conf file to point to our servers for DNS info (on both machines). I was able to look up both the domains set up on the two machines via nslookup (one set up as primary and the other as secondary) as well as externally resolved addresses. I checked my @home ISP's DNS via nslookup and also was getting good info back (my settings from the new nameservers was propagating). I thought everything was hunky-dory. This morning I (nervously, neurotically, you decide) checked my @home nslookup on a couple of the domains I had recently set up on my nameservers, and they came back with that nasty "non-existent host/domain" message. I then logged on to my machines to see what was going on. When I tried to use nslookup on the nameserver machines, I get the following: # nslookup *** Can't find server name for address abc.def.abc.def: Non-existent host/domain *** Can't find server name for address abc.def.abc.jhk: Non-existent host/domain *** Default servers are not available # I checked named and it was running. I restarted them on both machines (no errors) and still get the same 'can't find server ..." error message. (yes, both machines are in the DNS files and /etc/hosts :) and again, this all worked fine yesterday ) Has anyone had this happen to them? (Is this one of those humps people just 'get over') I truly appreciate any suggestions on this issue.
