Hi all, I'm running BIND 9.1.3 and the accompanying `dig and nslookup' on a vanilla Redhat 7.2 Linux box.
I've produced all of my Zone data and config files (I used h2n with some manual tweaks to do this, as some >= v8.2 BIND features aren't properly supported as far as I can see).
Im my resolv.conf I have I have the following 2 lines (the hostname is dns1a.company.com and it's IP address is 123.123.123.123):
domain company.com
namerserver 123.123.123.123
When I try to do a lookup, say`dig
www.yahoo.com` I get the error message:
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
My question is this: is this error message refering to the fact that nslookup cannot find my newly-installed local named, or that it can't being querying *other* nameservers for information about
www.yahoo.com
Any help would be appreciated. I'm here to learn, so hints would be helpful (although answers are always nice :-).
Thanks in advance... Sam.
