I am having a weird problem with the reverse addressing on localhost one
one of our three machines (p1.acadia.net) we use as names servers, when I
do a nslookup on localhost it works fine but the reverse of nslookup on
127.0.0.1 produces some strange results. What have I done wrong here? I am
using Bind 8.2.2 on this machine. I have included the output from the
commands, part of my named.conf and the 2 zone files below.
------------------------
nslookup localhost
Server: p1.acadia.net
Address: 205.217.211.1
Name: localhost.acadia.net
Address: 127.0.0.1
---------------------
nslookup 127.0.0.1
Server: p1.acadia.net
Address: 205.217.211.1
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
origin = localhost.1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
mail addr = hostmaster.localhost
serial = 10
refresh = 3600 (1H)
retry = 300 (5M)
expire = 3600000 (5w6d16h)
minimum ttl = 3600 (1H)
*** No address (A) records available for 127.0.0.1
----------------------
The relevant section of named.conf:
zone "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
};
zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "db.localhost";
};
-------------
db.127.0.0 reads as follows:
$TTL 86400 ; This is the NEW TTL needed for BIND 8.2
;
@ IN SOA localhost hostmaster.localhost. (
10 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
300 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600 ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost
;
1 IN PTR localhost
-----------------------
db.localhost reads as follows:
$TTL 86400 ; This is the NEW TTL needed for BIND 8.2
;
@ IN SOA localhost hostmaster.localhost. (
10 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
300 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600 ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost
;
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1

I wish outer-space guys would conquer Earth and make people their pets,
because I'd like to have one of
those little basket-beds with my name on it.
