Hello,
I've set up a FreeBSD box to provide my home network a NAT access to the Internet and a DNS caching-only server with bind 8.3.7 (among other things).
It's working perfectly but today I noticed something that I do not understand. When trying to $ nslookup google.com on a client host, here's what it says :
8<-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] nslookup google.com *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Non-existent host/domain *** Can't find server name for address ::: No response from server *** Default servers are not available [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->8
Now, trying the same thing directly on the DNS box :
8<-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] nslookup google.com Server: 192.168.0.1 Address: 192.168.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer: Name: google.com Address: 216.239.57.99 Name: google.com Address: 216.239.37.99 Name: google.com Address: 216.239.39.99
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -->8
The resolv.conf files are the same on the 2 boxes :
8<-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /etc/resolv.conf search serpe.org nameserver 192.168.0.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /etc/resolv.conf search serpe.org nameserver 192.168.0.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->8
Given this, I do not understand why it works on the DNS box and not on the client.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Nicolas.
