I have been battling with this problem for some time now, and I am not sure if I am just not seeing the obvious anymore or have made a stupid mistake, but I just can seem to get the reverse address in my network to run the right way.
Short description of my network:
I have a 50 user network with two switches and a main server connected to the internet with DSL. 99% of the user are on windows.
I have setup the main server as the main DNS with bind and Dynamic DHCP. A couple of the network maschines are internal servers, one for development, one as a NAS etc.
Manual DNS entries has been made for the internal servers and a couple of printers and routers, all other clients are assigned a IP via DHCP.
The problem:
All the clients are recieving the right IP on the subnet 192.168.1.0 but the reverse adresses are wrong, ie: 164.1.168.192.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa
Now I know that this is the cause of a single dot that is not there, but I don't know where to look anymore. I am just not sure anymore what I can do.
The network runs, but windows take a long time to get a lease from the server (due to the reverse lookup not working)
I'm kindda confused about domainname and /etc/defaultdomain.
If I type domainname tesT.com, will this be added to /etc/defaultdomain or do I need to add manually on /etc/defaultdomain as well?...second question, if I type domainname tesT.com...is it case sensitive?
Thank you. (1 Reply)
