Hi Folks,

Could anyone please point me to the right direction as I have spent so much time on this without luck.

I have installed Bind on my CentOS 5 server for internal network. The name resolution is working from the server itself only but not from the clients.

--------------
ping ip from server to client machine => OK
ping ip from client to server machine => OK

ping hostname from server to client machine => OK
ping hostname from client to server machine => unknown host
--------------

Server1 [cent3 - CentOS 5] = eth1 "10.0.1.101" Bind 9 installed on CentOS 5
Client1 [odd1 - Oracle Linux 6] = eth1 "10.0.1.101" Oracle Linux 6
Client2 [odd2 - Oracle Linux 6] = eth1 "10.0.1.102" Oracle Linux 6

resolv.conf (Server cent3)

Code:

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search simtafco.com
nameserver 10.0.1.100

------------

resolv.conf (Client1 odd1)

Code:

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search simtafco.com
nameserver 10.0.1.100

named.conf (Server cent3)

Code:

options {
listen-on { any; } ;
directory "/var/named"; // the default
version "Nope";
allow-recursion { any; };
};

zone "simtafco.com" in {
type master;
file "simtafco.com" ;
};

------------

zone file simtafco.com (Server cent3)

Code:

@ IN SOA cent3.simtafco.com. admin.simtafco.com. (
2010062801 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Expire
86400 ; Minimum
)

simtafco.com. IN NS cent3.simtafco.com.

simtafco.com. IN A 10.0.1.100
odd1.simtafco.com IN A 10.0.1.101
odd2.simtafco.com IN A 10.0.1.102

Thank you.
