Bind and AIX
I am attempting to set up bind on an AIX 5.3 machine. I ahve created a named.conf, db.cache (for root domain and hint file) and a db.domainname file for the host entries. However, when I set my pc to use the AIX box as it's dns server, I can not resolve names. Is there anything obvious maybe I am missing in the setup? Other than the named.run file, are there any other logs files I can check?

Below is my named.conf

options {
directory "/etc";
};

zone "testdomain.com" in {
type master;
file "db.testdomain";
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "db.cache";
};


here is my db.testdomain

testdomain.com. IN SOA dns.testdomain.com. 1 (
10808
3600
604800
86400
)
;
;Name servers
;
testdomain.com. IN NS dns.testdomain.com.
;
;
;
localhost.testdomain.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
test.testdomain.com. IN A x.x.x.x
test2.testdomain.com. IN A x.x.x.x
test3.testdomain.com. IN A x.x.x.x

ypset

ypset(1M)																 ypset(1M)

NAME

       ypset - bind to particular Network Information Service server

SYNOPSIS

       host] domain] server

   Remarks
       The  Network  Information  Service  (NIS) was formerly known as Yellow Pages (YP).  Although the name has changed, the functionality of the
       service remains the same.

DESCRIPTION

       tells to get Network Information Service (NIS) services for the specified domain from the process running on  server  (see  ypserv(1M)  and
       ypbind(1M)).  server is the NIS server that the NIS client binds to, and is specified as either a host name or an IP address.  If server is
       down or is not running this is not discovered until a local NIS client process tries to obtain a binding for the domain.  The  daemon  then
       tests  the  binding  set  by If the binding cannot be made to the requested server, attempts to rebind to another server in the same domain
       present in the ypservers file.

       NOTE: In order to run must be initiated with the or options.  For more information on how to initiate see ypbind(1M).

       The command is useful for binding a client node that is not on a broadcast network.  If a client node exists on a broadcast  network  which
       has no NIS server running, and if there is a network with one running that is available via a gateway, can establish a binding through that
       gateway.  It is also useful for debugging NIS client applications such as when a NIS map exists only at a single NIS server.

       In cases where several hosts on the local net are supplying NIS services, it is possible for to rebind to  another  host,  even	while  you
       attempt	to find out if the operation succeeded.  For example, typing followed by and receiving the reply may be confusing.  It could occur
       when host1 does not respond to because its process is not running or is overloaded, and host2, running gets the binding.

       The server is the NIS server to bind to, specified as either a host name or an IP address.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) and ypserv(1M) for an overview of the Network Information Service.

   Options
       recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

	      Bind	     server for the Version 2 NIS protocol.

	      Set the binding on
			     host instead of locally.  host can be specified as a host name or an IP address.

	      Use	     domain instead of the default domain returned by (see domainname(1)).

DIAGNOSTICS

       The user is not root, or ypbind was run without the
	      flags.  See ypserv(1M) for explanations of the flags.

       The user is not root, or ypbind was run without one of the
	      flags.  See ypserv(1M) for explanations of the flags.

WARNINGS

       Starting with ONCplus version B.11.31.02, the NIS Version 1 protocol is no longer available.
