Can you verify the server is up and running? From terminal run nslookup and then give server=127.0.0.1 then query any domain name. Then check to see what information it gives for your domain name. Let us know what it is doing...

I sure hope someone can help. I've tried repeatedly without success to get DNS happening on my 7.3 RH. all files check out as ok, although, I first set it up with Bindconf and then had to go in and change the script manually to include stuff that bc doesn't include. My named kicks up at boot. I up my SOA every time i've changed it. My resolv.conf reads right. The only thing i dont need is a reverse on mydomain.com as I'm using 5 purchased static iP's off my ISP. the only lines i added to the standard zone file is at the end: this is my zone file: {names are changed to protect the idiot :o) $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA @ admin.mydomain.com ( 200303057 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 7200 ; retry 604800 ; expire 86400 ; ttl ) @ IN NS ns1.mydomain.com. @ IN MX 10 mail.mydomain.com. @ IN A blah.blah.blah.20 ns1 IN A blah.blah.blah.20 www IN A blah.blah.blah.20 mail IN A blah.blah.blah.20 My resolv.conf is simply: domain net-trek.com nameserver blah.blah.blah.20 My localhost forward and reverse are standard as are the named.ca and named local. My named.conf is : ## named.conf - configuration for bind # # Generated automatically by bindconf, alchemist et al. controls { inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; }; }; include "/etc/rndc.key"; options { directory "/var/named/"; }; zone "ns2.mydomain.com" { type slave; file "ns2.mydomain.zone"; masters { blah.blah.blah.23; }; }; zone "." { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone"; }; zone "localhost" { type master; file "localhost.zone"; }; zone "mydomain.com" { type master; file "mydomain.com.zone"; }; My next thoughts: Should my resolv.conf be binding to localhost? My machine is called mars. do i need to bind to mars.mydomain? NSLOOKUP give me a look back on myself as expected. Also gives me Non-Auth answers on lookups. I really hope you guys and gals can help.
