In each case, if I ran the 'dig method' to get the latest set of root servers, I could look up anything in the world. The server I have does a fine job of local resolution (altavista.local, fahrlander.local, etc) but despite "recursion yes" being in named.conf.options, if it doesn't 'own' the records, it punts! Here's an example of what happens when I rely on the ISP's DNS, and they TOO can't find it: <a href="mailto:root@hope">root@hope</a>:/etc/bind# host 192.84.16.27 Host 27.16.84.192.in-addr.arpa not found: 2(SERVFAIL) <a href="mailto:root@hope">root@hope</a>:/etc/bind# dig 192.84.16.27 ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> 192.84.16.27 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 32795 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;192.84.16.27.

Now how about more info: # dnsqr any 192.84.16.27 255 192.84.16.27: 46 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror query: 255 192.84.16.27 answer: 192.84.16.27 655360 A 192.84.16.27 This from tinydns which works much better than bind. What do you have for this with bind ? -Dee <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Fahrländer Christian, Conservative, and Technomad Evansville, IN <a href="http://Fahrlander.net/brian" target="_blank">http://Fahrlander.net/brian</a> ICQ: 5119262 AOL/Yahoo/GoogleTalk: WheelDweller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote><style> </style> </body></html>
