Linux

Hi Experts,

I am a newbie like in Linux world, practising Fedora Linux on VMWare but DNS is never set up:
Below are my conf files:

1. named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};


zone "example.com" IN {
type master;
file "/var/named/example.com.zone";
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";

2. /var/named/example.com.zone
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA enterprise3.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. (
200802113 ; serial
3H ; refresh
10M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum

@ IN NS enterprise3.example.com.

@ IN MX 10 mail.example.com.

enterprise3 IN A 192.168.91.128

mail IN A 192.168.91.129
ftp IN A 192.168.91.130
web IN A 192.168.91.131
web3 IN A 192.168.91.132

Please help......

Just eye-balling the configuration, everything looks OK. What are you doing that tells you it's not working?

So, what exactly is not working ? Use "dig" tool to see the records, otherwise flush / reload with rndc " rndc reload ", or simply restart the bind - these are general band-aids.

Hi,

I have tried dig & host -l example.com many times with no results...connection times out

What's the context of /etc/resolv.conf? It should NOT be localhost or the IP of your own server.
