BIND 9.2---adding master zone

Rgomes — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 02:51:01 GMT

Hi All,

My DNS server is running on BIND 9.2. Everything seems ok except one thing. I added one master zone file in named.conf ( test.com) and created reverse lookup file for that zone. But I cannot nslookup it from anywhere( also not from my dns server).

What is the problem here?

TIA,
Richard

1.what do you mean everything seems ok?
2. send us master zone file to see if there are errors

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your reply.

1) other zone files are working fine ( I have 3 zone file in named.conf). Only the last zone I ahve added is not 'nslookup'ing.
Other 2 zone file is ok and can be 'nslookup'.

2.
# more sheraton-dhaka.hosts
$TTL 3600

dns2 IN A 203.112.194.15

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for pointing me.

but still I cannot not resolve. What i did not know is that, the IP address I gave for sheraton-dhaka.com is not yet activated. I mean it is not yet given to any machine.....:). it will be given tomorrow and I have to wait till that time.

What I understand this is the reason for which I cannot 'nslookup' the host name.

I'll give you update tomorrow.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Alexander,

Problem is solved after putting the IP address to proper host.

Thanks and best regards,
Richard
