Help me setting up dns and understanding it.

Hi

I need to set up a dns server for Oracle 11g rac setup. I got some files (copied from friend) named.conf and related files in /var/named , i was told that this would work fine. But i am getting some issues. I am attaching the files here.

The problem is

Code:
dig oralab-scan.oralab.example.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.23.rc1.el6_5.1 <<>> oralab-scan.oralab.example.com

[root@grid named]# nslookup oralab-scan.oralab.example.com
Server:         10.0.2.2
Address:        10.0.2.2#53

** server can't find oralab-scan.oralab.example.com.example.com: REFUSED

Code:
[root@grid named]# more /etc/named.conf
//
// named.conf

// Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS
// server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.

options {
        directory "/var/named";     // Base directory for named
        allow-transfer {"none";};   // Slave serves that can pull zone transfer. Ban everyone by default
        };
zone "2.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA." IN { // Reverse zone.
        type master;
        notify no;
        file "192.168.2.db";
};

zone "2.10.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA." IN { // Reverse zone.
        type master;
        notify no;
        file "10.10.2.db";
};

zone "example.com." IN {
        type master;
        notify no;
        file "example.com.db";
};

zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "/dev/null";
};

Code:
[root@grid named]# pwd

[root@grid named]# cat 192.168.2.db
$TTL 1H
@       IN      SOA     grid  root.example.com.  (

                        1H              ; retry 1 hour
                        1W              ; expire 1 week

You might want to start telling us a bit about your environment: which OS you do use, which nameserver software you do use (perhaps bind, but first this is not a given and second there are different versions of bind which have to be configured differently).

In the meantime, here is a small introduction i wrote a while ago. You may want to read it first and then ask, if you still have questions.

I hope this helps.
