DNS question -

If an A record or a PTR record is missing from a device that's been added to DNS, will this show up in a report or log file of any kind?

Check your syslog.log file. Any problems with running hosts_to_named should show up there.

Thank you for the quick response.

Not to the best of my recollection. You'll just get DNS resolution errors when you try to resolve to the missing record.

I was actually looking for a report or log that shows any entries with problems like the A record or PTR record is missing or any other problem for that matter.

I'm not in front of a unix box now but will go into work now because I need a solid answer by tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks in advance.

PS. The DNS boxes are running on Solaris and hope that doesn't make a difference....

I know some folks get ticked off at me for posting questions that sometime relate to Solaris, but I love this site because there are soooo many technically savvy guys here all the time.
