Forwarder

How can I use forwarder for reverse lookup?
I am running Bind 8.1.2 and using forwarder to forward query to other nameserver and it works flawless with name resolution. But it didn't seem to work for reverse lookup.

Hi Wilfred,
it works fine for me. How are you testing that it isn't work?Could you attach your named.conf file?

I had this in the named.conf file.
forwarders {
;
};

but after sig_named restart, and nslookup
an IP address didn't give me back the hostname.

Hi,
if you want to query a reverse resolution you must do a PTR query:

#nslookup -query=ptr

nslookup works fine for me. It always has...

Are you sure your PTR records are properly configured?
