nslookup issues urgent
bwadmin@as1$ nslookup as2.synapse.com
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.16: No response from server
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.17: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
[Sandeep] /etc/resolv.conf have already 192.168.0.16/17 defined. I can also ping these servers from as1. What could be the issue? One reason could be that DNS service is not running on these DNS servers. Comments?
B. bwadmin@ns1$ nslookup as2.synapse.com
*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Unspecified error
*** Default servers are not available
[Sandeep] Typically this error comes if /etc/resolv.conf is not defined. In this /etc/resolv.conf is defined and name servers are pingable. what could be the error? Any help is appreciated as it is quite urgent

nslookup
NSLOOKUP(1) BIND9 NSLOOKUP(1)
NAME
nslookup - query Internet name servers interactively
SYNOPSIS
nslookup [-option] [name | -] [server]
DESCRIPTION
Nslookup is a program to query Internet domain name servers. Nslookup has two modes: interactive and non-interactive. Interactive mode
allows the user to query name servers for information about various hosts and domains or to print a list of hosts in a domain.
Non-interactive mode is used to print just the name and requested information for a host or domain.
ARGUMENTS
Interactive mode is entered in the following cases:
1. when no arguments are given (the default name server will be used)
2. when the first argument is a hyphen (-) and the second argument is the host name or Internet address of a name server.
Non-interactive mode is used when the name or Internet address of the host to be looked up is given as the first argument. The optional
second argument specifies the host name or address of a name server.
Options can also be specified on the command line if they precede the arguments and are prefixed with a hyphen. For example, to change the
default query type to host information, and the initial timeout to 10 seconds, type:
nslookup -query=hinfo -timeout=10
The -version option causes nslookup to print the version number and immediately exits.
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
host [server]
Look up information for host using the current default server or using server, if specified. If host is an Internet address and the
query type is A or PTR, the name of the host is returned. If host is a name and does not have a trailing period, the search list is
used to qualify the name.
To look up a host not in the current domain, append a period to the name.
server domain
lserver domain
Change the default server to domain; lserver uses the initial server to look up information about domain, while server uses the current
default server. If an authoritative answer can't be found, the names of servers that might have the answer are returned.

set keyword[=value]
This command is used to change state information that affects the lookups. Valid keywords are:
all
Prints the current values of the frequently used options to set. Information about the current default server and host is also
printed.
class=value
Change the query class to one of:
IN
the Internet class
CH
the Chaos class
HS
the Hesiod class
ANY
wildcard
The class specifies the protocol group of the information.
(Default = IN; abbreviation = cl)
[no]debug
Turn on or off the display of the full response packet and any intermediate response packets when searching.
(Default = nodebug; abbreviation = [no]deb)
[no]d2
Turn debugging mode on or off. This displays more about what nslookup is doing.
(Default = nod2)
domain=name
Sets the search list to name.
[no]search
If the lookup request contains at least one period but doesn't end with a trailing period, append the domain names in the domain
search list to the request until an answer is received.
(Default = search)
port=value
Change the default TCP/UDP name server port to value.
(Default = 53; abbreviation = po)
querytype=value
type=value
Change the type of the information query.
(Default = A; abbreviations = q, ty)
[no]recurse
Tell the name server to query other servers if it does not have the information.
(Default = recurse; abbreviation = [no]rec)
ndots=number
Set the number of dots (label separators) in a domain that will disable searching. Absolute names always stop searching.
retry=number
Set the number of retries to number.
timeout=number
Change the initial timeout interval for waiting for a reply to number seconds.
[no]vc
Always use a virtual circuit when sending requests to the server.
(Default = novc)
[no]fail
Try the next nameserver if a nameserver responds with SERVFAIL or a referral (nofail) or terminate query (fail) on such a response.
(Default = nofail)
RETURN VALUES
nslookup returns with an exit status of 1 if any query failed, and 0 otherwise.
