Hi Guys, I have successfully installed bind 9 but I am having some issues with doing a nslookup from my internal network.
>nslookup google.com Server: shinda.chamkila.org Address: 192.168.0.5 DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. *** Request to shinda.chamkila.org timed-out Then when I try it a couple of more times it works just fine. Is this a configuration issue? My internal addresses come up really quickly but it times out for external addresses a few times before it actually works. The following are my config files for named: Any suggestions or comments would be grately appreciated. Thanks in advance, Simran H. ---------------------------- Named Config Files ---------------------------- ----------------- /etc/named.conf ----------------- // Config file for caching only name server // // The version of the HOWTO you read may contain leading spaces // (spaces in front of the characters on these lines ) in this and // other files.
