RHEL5 server IP to Name problem

[abdul raziq]

Hi all,

I am running RHEL5 server as well I have configured Apache and send mail servers.
The problem is that when I check my httpd web site in remote pc (second pc) its work fine through ip address while I check my web site on name server like linux.net it does not work. Same problem with sendmail server work with ip address but not work on name server.

Please note some setting on my DNS output

# nslookup linux.net
Server: 192.168.1.211
Address: 192.168.1.211#53

Name: linux.net
Address: 192.168.1.211

# host linux.net
linux.net has address 192.168.1.211

[root@redhat ~]# dig linux.net

Is your remote PC looking at the right DNS ?

[abdul raziq]

is there any more configuration required.


Thanks

You'll need to configure a local DNS (bind) for your servers. Or you may just want to add the server to the hosts file on the client systems.
