Re: [PLUG] "Mini" DNS options?

[jazzman@exdomain.org]

Hi all.

I thought this might be easier. I'm attaching my named.conf and .zone file 
for my domain. I did everything you guys suggested but for some reason I 
cannot get hosts on my network to work properly with the dns server.

I can't list every address on my network that can use the dns, cause the 
worst case on my network is every address in the 10.2.2.x range being used 
(like I have that many friends?!? No this won't ever happen BUT...). So 
for the allow line I added 10.2.2.0/24, which should cover me, yes?

Still, when I go to a winxp box with the dns server (10.2.2.253) set as 
it's primary dns servre and I type "nslookup" at the command line I get:

*** Can't find server name for address 10.2.2.253: Non-existent domain

But then, from within nslookup, if I type "Server 10.2.2.253" it works 
fine! However, opening a browser and going to one of the names in my dns 
server returns an error...

Incidentally my other linux box works fine, so the issue appears to 
be only windows boxes(?)

Your patience is much appreciated
Marc
