DNS BIND status

[rbhayani]

Hey All,

If someone could please help me, stuck for a long time now.

I have bound "open-ims.test" on 127.0.0.1. All looks well when i test the same by "system-config-bind" and when i "ping open-ims.test"

However, when i dig open-ims.test it reflects "status: NXDOMAIN"

here's the trace:

[root@localhost named]# dig open-ims.test

; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P1 <<>> open-ims.test
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 26264
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0

Can someone please let me know what the issue is?

Thanks in advance.

Check your /etc/resolv.conf and ensure that it point to your server

Thanks for your reply. resolv.conf was indeed the issue. Have solved it.
Thanks.
