nslookup

[Try]

HI Guys;


I tested my linux 9 DNS server from xp clients by nslookup.

It is not show following message.

Default Server domainname)
Address Dns IP)

It is show me following message

Default Server :unknow
Address :IP

So I checked my web server and DNS server.They are running.

How to solve this problem .Please explain me Dear Guys............

This is most probably due to the fact that you have nt configured anything else than the standard configuration if your BIND server.
You need at least to have a fake domain to get rid of this message.
However, it is not necessary to have a domain configured for your usage of a close/near DNS service.

First of all you'll need a file /etc/named.conf
Which could look like something like this

options {
        pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
        directory "/var/named";
};

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
};

zone "myinternal.priv" {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/myinternal.hosts";
};

This will give you a Zone for domain myinternal.priv

Next thing is to create the file /var/named/myinternal.hosts
which should/could look like something like this:

myinternal.priv           IN SOA  ns.myinternal.priv. postmaster.myinternal.priv. (
                                2005032301 ; serial
                                28800      ; refresh (8 hours)
                                14400      ; retry (4 hours)
                                360000     ; expire (4 days 4 hours)
                                86400      ; minimum (1 day)
                                )
                        NS      ns.myinternal.priv.

ns                A        <ip-of-your-dns-server>

You should change all values from above example to fit your enviroment.
That is the IP of the ns A record, your domain has to be equal to your internal domain, otherwise you will get errors like you did previous.

But as I said before, it is not necessary to have a SOA record of your own, to have a cache-only DNS server.
