DNS configuration problem

Post by Luc Saucie » Thu, 15 Jan 1998 04:00:00



I am trying to configure my DNS on Linux Slackware 3.3.  All the things in
DNS HOWTO are done.  When I try to run nslookup, I got the following error
message.

**Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: No response from server
** Default servers are not available.

I can ping and telnet myself with 127.0.0.1.
I can give more details if someone care to help me!

Two possible answers:
1 - Is named actually running (sorry got to ask :-)?
2 - Is you DNS authoritative for the "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" domain?

  This appears to me that nslookup does not know you your name server is.
May sure that you have a nameserver line in you resolv.conf pointing to your
DNS's IP locally.
Mine reads...

domain home.us
nameserver 192.168.30.2
nameserver 205.252.116.10
nameserver 205.252.116.19

The first one is mine locally and the others are my ISP's.

this yields this from nslookup.

kq4zp:/etc# nslookup
Default Server:  kq4zp.home.us
Address:  192.168.30.2

Hope that helps.

1. Sendmail/DNS Configuration Problem

I'm running a web server using Linux.

I'd have a domain, e.g. www.mydomain.net, and can reveive mail sent to


this be handled by the sendmail configuration (if so, which file -
sendmail.cf?), or does the ISP where my box is co-located need to add
something to their DNS tables?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Charles
