For the most part linux commands have "man" pages that are accessible by typing "man commandname" sans the quotes. At your prompt type man nslookup and the system documentation will display. You system man pages are an invaluable resource as you learn your system. Good luck.
Looks like your DNS server doesn't have a reverse lookup zone setup. You might try the command
but that will probably have the same result.
It also looks like you are using an external DNS server (probably from your ISP. iburst??) to try and do a reverse lookup on an internal address. That's not going to work.
Should I change my server in nslookup to the linux server?
A couple of things would have to be in place for this to happen. First, your network would have to have a DNS server in place that has a reverse lookup zone configured and that address would have to be in the zone file.
Next, you would have to specify that DNS server when you run NSLOOKUP. You can probably specify it from the command line but if you just run nslookup without any options you'll be running nslookup interactively (the prompt should change to '>'). You can then change the server at the > prompt. So, for example, if the DNS server you wanted to query was at 192.168.8.1 your request would look something like this:
I knew you were using iburst because you pasted the results of your nslookup which showed the IP of the DNS server you were using. Since the address you posted was internet routable I figured you were setup to use your ISP's DNS server instead of an internal one.
I did a reverse lookup on that IP:
I then did a whois lookup of wbs.co.za at domaintools.com and it told me that domain is owned by iburst.
Please read up on name service lookup. IP to host and host to IP can be resolved in two ways by default, using DNS or /etc/hosts file. You do not have DNS configured and that is reason for above error. You must have internal DNS to resolve this IP, or you add it manually to /etc/hosts file, then resolve it.

Hi
I have a variable which is a path ie:
UBERROR=/cobwrk/mchr/prodsup/ub/wrk/../error
is there anyway I can get the output of an echo to read:
#echo $UBERROR
/cobwrk/mchr/prodsup/ub/error
instead of
#echo $UBERROR
/cobwrk/mchr/prodsup/ub/wrk/../error
Many thanks! (2 Replies)
I am running LexMark MarkNetPro-3 print servers on my AIX network. All of the sudden, none of my printers will print anymore. I am getting an error message on the console:
Unable to resolve host name.
This message comes up everytime a user submits a print job.
Any Ideas? (1 Reply)
