Excuse me but I am learning and would like to know: I am using bind 8 with the 3rd edition Bind book. What is the named.hosts file for? As I can't find a reference to it.

You need to setup a reverse zone for 192.168.6.250 in your 'named.conf'
file, that has a pointer record for that nameserver(I am assuming that this
is the ip address of the name sever you are configuring - 192.168.6.250).
In your named.conf file you need to add
zone "6.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "db.192.168.6";
};
And your 'db.192.168.6' file should at least have a pointer record for your
name server

1999050400 ;Serial (date YYYYMMDDnn n=change counter
10800 ; Refresh after 3 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 1 week
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL of 1 day
IN NS dns1.mydomain.com.
250 IN PTR dns1.mydomain.com
;EOF

Your 'named.hosts file should at least have the following
@ IN SOA dns1.mydomain.com. user.synnex.com.(

IN NS dns1.mydomain.com
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
dns1 IN A 192.168.6.250

Hi,
I just setup a DNS server (running at redhat 5.2), and here are the dns
files:
etc/named.conf
// generated by named-bootconf.pl
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;
};
//
// boot file for name server
//
// type domain source host/file backup file
zone "." {
type hint;
file "root.cache";
};
zone "mydomain.com" {
type master;
file "named.hosts";
};
And here is the named.hosts file
@ IN SOA dns1.mydomain.com. postmaster.synnex.com. (
1999100501 ; serial: increment one each time
60 ; refresh: once every 1 mins
3600 ; retry: one hour
604800 ; expire: 7 days
7200 ) ; ttl: two hours
IN NS dns1.synnex.com.
;
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
I also have root.cache, and some others.
But when i don "nslookup", and here is the error message
" Can't find server name for address 192.168.6.250: Non-existent
host/domain"
192.168.6.250 is the system ip address.
Can someone help me on this, or let me know where i can start to
troubleshooting this.
Thanks,
Li
