Solaris

Hi,
We have built a new server (RHEL VM)and added that IP/hostname into dns zone configs file on DNS server (Solaris 10). Reloaded the configuration using
and added nameserver into resolv.conf on client. But when I am trying nslookup, its not getting resolved. The nameserver is not able to resolve the hostname to IP or viceversa... Getting message as "** server can't find xyz: REFUSED"


The port is open too.

any help is appreciated...

Maybe you need to allow query access, like

Code:

cat /etc/named.conf
...
options {
...
        allow-recursion { any; };
        allow-query  { any; };
        allow-query-cache { any; };
...
};
...

But I am able to resolve successfully on other dns clients... This is new one I need to get into DNS..

Can you share the content of /etc/resolv.conf and the output of a test nslookup so we can see.



Thanks, in advance,
Robin

Code:

[root@xyzname ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver  a.b.c.d
nameserver 4.2.2.2

[root@xyznamel ~]# nslookup xyzname  a.b.c.d
Server:          a.b.c.d
Address:        a.b.c.d#53

** server can't find xyzname: REFUSED

any clue guys ?

I am not sure about RHEL VMs but this (marked bold) line:
looks strange to me. Is that really the standard setup? I'd start by removing this line and try name resolution then.
