RE: Caching Nameserver

["CHAN Chow Chin, David" <ccchan my ncs-i com>]

well, I think you're missing your forwarders in your named.conf file. 
Inside named.conf, under the "options" section, insert:-

forward first;
forwarders {
	ip.of.dns.1;
	ip.of.dns.2;
};

eg: 
forward first;
forwarders{
	161.142.2.17;
};


hope it helps. :),

P.S. Oh! dont' forget to restart named.

Subject: Caching Nameserver


I'm trying to get a caching nameserver setup and operating on my home
network.  I have downloaded an installed the rpm's from Redhat.  These
included 'bind' and 'caching-nameserver'.  Using linuxconf, I've added a
zone for my home network.  When I test it using 'nslookup', it tells me
that it cannot find host/domain for the nameserver's ip.
  Also, when I try an nslookup on any of my machines on the home
network, I cannot find them.  What have I missed?  Will a caching
nameserver eliminate the need for me to keep all the hosts files on
every machine current?
  Any help is appreciated.
