BIND and dig errors
Hi all, I'm running BIND 9.1.3 and the accompanying `dig and nslookup' on a vanilla Redhat 7.2 Linux box.
I've produced all of my Zone data and config files (I used h2n with some manual tweaks to do this, as some >= v8.2 BIND features aren't properly supported as far as I can see).
Im my resolv.conf I have I have the following 2 lines (the hostname is dns1a.company.com and it's IP address is 123.123.123.123):
domain company.com
namerserver 123.123.123.123
When I try to do a lookup, say`dig
www.yahoo.com` I get the error message:
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
My question is this: is this error message refering to the fact that nslookup cannot find my newly-installed local named, or that it can't being querying *other* nameservers for information about
www.yahoo.com
Any help would be appreciated. I'm here to learn, so hints would be helpful (although answers are always nice :-).
Thanks in advance... Sam.

Template::Plugin::URL(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Template::Plugin::URL(3)
NAME
Template::Plugin::URL - Plugin to construct complex URLs
SYNOPSIS
[% USE url('/cgi-bin/foo.pl') %]
[% url(debug = 1, id = 123) %]
# ==> /cgi/bin/foo.pl?debug=1&id=123
[% USE mycgi = url('/cgi-bin/bar.pl', mode='browse', debug=1) %]
[% mycgi %]
# ==> /cgi/bin/bar.pl?mode=browse&debug=1
[% mycgi(mode='submit') %]
# ==> /cgi/bin/bar.pl?mode=submit&debug=1
[% mycgi(debug='d2 p0', id='D4-2k[4]') %]
# ==> /cgi-bin/bar.pl?mode=browse&debug=d2%20p0&id=D4-2k%5B4%5D
DESCRIPTION
The "URL" plugin can be used to construct complex URLs from a base stem and a hash array of additional query parameters.
The constructor should be passed a base URL and optionally, a hash array reference of default parameters and values. Used from with a
template, it would look something like the following:
[% USE url('http://www.somewhere.com/cgi-bin/foo.pl') %]
[% USE url('/cgi-bin/bar.pl', mode='browse') %]
[% USE url('/cgi-bin/baz.pl', mode='browse', debug=1) %]
When the plugin is then called without any arguments, the default base and parameters are returned as a formatted query string.
[% url %]
For the above three examples, these will produce the following outputs:
http://www.somewhere.com/cgi-bin/foo.pl
/cgi-bin/bar.pl?mode=browse
/cgi-bin/baz.pl?mode=browse&debug=1
Note that additional parameters are separated by '"&"' rather than simply '"&"'. This is the correct behaviour for HTML pages but is,
unfortunately, incorrect when creating URLs that do not need to be encoded safely for HTML. This is likely to be corrected in a future
version of the plugin (most probably with TT3). In the mean time, you can set $Template::Plugin::URL::JOINT to "&" to get the correct
behaviour.
Additional parameters may be also be specified to the URL:
[% url(mode='submit', id='wiz') %]
Which, for the same three examples, produces:
http://www.somewhere.com/cgi-bin/foo.pl?mode=submit&id=wiz
/cgi-bin/bar.pl?mode=browse&id=wiz
/cgi-bin/baz.pl?mode=browse&debug=1&id=wiz
A new base URL may also be specified as the first option:
[% url('/cgi-bin/waz.pl', test=1) %]
producing
/cgi-bin/waz.pl?test=1
/cgi-bin/waz.pl?mode=browse&test=1
/cgi-bin/waz.pl?mode=browse&debug=1&test=1
The ordering of the parameters is non-deterministic due to fact that Perl's hashes themselves are unordered. This isn't a problem as the
ordering of CGI parameters is insignificant (to the best of my knowledge). All values will be properly escaped thanks to some code
borrowed from Lincoln Stein's "CGI" module. e.g.
[% USE url('/cgi-bin/woz.pl') %]
[% url(name="Elrich von Benjy d'Weiro") %]
Here the spaces and ""'"" character are escaped in the output:
/cgi-bin/woz.pl?name=Elrich%20von%20Benjy%20d%27Weiro
An alternate name may be provided for the plugin at construction time as per regular Template Toolkit syntax.
[% USE mycgi = url('cgi-bin/min.pl') %]
[% mycgi(debug=1) %]
