DNS running but not responding
I have main issue that although the named process is running and listening on port UDP 53. I am not able to query it even locally. When I run nslookup command on the machine itself, it times out and I get the below message.
dns3:/etc #nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 10.1.156.55: Server failed
*** Default servers are not available
Using /etc/hosts on: dns3
any idea ??
Appreciate your support.
Jean

Re: DNS running but not responding
Is 10.1.156.55 the address of the system you
expected to be using as the DNS server? Is
that the address of "the machine itself"?
Does "/etc/hosts" provide a name for address
10.1.156.55? Is it in the DNS data base?

Re: DNS running but not responding
Look into /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log - if named has a problem, it usually writes messages about it to the system log.

Re: DNS running but not responding
The file didn't exist it at the beginning at all. I tried to create it but I am not sure if I have included the correct entry. I tried to put the following entry
hosts: files dns nis
Do you think is this the problem?
Could you please advise?
thanks a lot!
