Hello, I've set up a FreeBSD box to provide my home network a NAT access to the Internet and a DNS caching-only server with bind 8.3.7 (among other things). It's working perfectly but today I noticed something that I do not understand. When trying to $ nslookup google.com on a client host, here's what it says : 8<-- nicolas@fsol$ nslookup google.com *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Non-existent host/domain *** Can't find server name for address ::: No response from server *** Default servers are not available nicolas@fsol$ -->8 Now, trying the same thing directly on the DNS box : 8<-- root@earth$ nslookup google.com Server: 192.168.0.1 Address: 192.168.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: google.com Address: 216.239.57.99 Name: google.com Address: 216.239.37.99 Name: google.com Address: 216.239.39.99 root@earth$ -->8 The resolv.conf files are the same on the 2 boxes : 8<-- nicolas@fsol$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search serpe.org nameserver 192.168.0.1 nicolas@fsol$ root@earth$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search serpe.org nameserver 192.168.0.1 root@earth$ -->8 Given this, I do not understand why it works on the DNS box and not on the client. Thank you very much in advance for your help! Nicolas.home | help
