On a system acting as a gateway, I'm suddenly getting the following message logged for dns searches : named[78]: ns_req: no address for root server nslookup for an arbitrary system will fail with: *** localhost.dreamchaser.org can't find ics.com: Server failed dig shows: ; <<>> DiG 2.1 <<>> ics.com ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 6 ;; flags: qr rd ra; Ques: 1, Ans: 0, Auth: 0, Addit: 0 ;; QUESTIONS: ;; ics.com, type = A, class = IN Yet ping, traceroute, and everything else seem to work just fine from the machine. The dns failures prevent any other machine on the local ethernet from getting out. Explicitly asking nslookup or dig to use some other non-local name server works. Can anyone give me some hints on what's going on? -- Gary Aitken garya@ics.com (business) garya@dreamchaser.org (personal)
