NSLOOKUP: Non-Authoratative Answer

NSLOOKUP: Non-Authoratative Answer

Post by bmurd.. » Wed, 12 Mar 1997 04:00:00



I have a local named server running.  Requests are filled as usual.
However, when doing a hostname lookup on the local network, the answer
is non-authoratative.  When doing a number to hostname lookup, all
answers are authoratative.  I'm running a forwarder to my ISP for all
non-local requests.  This works fine.  My question is this:  Why are
_local_ requests non authoratative?  What is wrong in my config?  

I have just noticed this error recently, and believe it may be
responsible for other problems I am having.

Thank you,

Matt Murdock

You probably have syntaxically wrong named.* files.
The problems is probably logged in your /var/log/messages during boot
sequence.
Could you mail me your /etc/named.boot and /var/named/named.* files ?

1. PLEASE HELP: PING, DNS AND NSLOOKUP - NSLOOKUP GOOD PING BAD

The DNS is configured on a server that is standalone.  I am running
Solaris 2.5 and have tried DNS 4.93 (BETA, REL) 4.94P1.  

When I perform a NSLOOKUP on a domain, i.e nslookup www.xxx.com the  
correct information is returned.  When I try and ping www.xxx.com
I receive an unknown host error.  This is true for all of the

A type records.  The local server has an entry in the root.cache file.
The name server complains.  The identical DNS works fine on a node
connected to the internet.

        Can any one possibly point out the error in my ways?

Thanks in advance.
