Hello List, 

i´m a newbie (in bind8-things).

I installed bind8 some days ago,
but i seem to have a configuration-problem.

When surfin through the internet with the Netscape Communicator
there´s very often an error message in the Netscape-Window.

This happens too,when i try to reach my mailserver (pop.gmx.net).

The errormessage is :

Netscape is unable to locate the server pop.gmx.net. 
Please check the server name and try again. 

This happens maybe three times and then i have access to the mailserver.

I think that my bind8-Configuration may is missconfigured.


My Configuration is :

My Linux-Server :
Suse Linux 6.1 with all neccessary updates,kernel 2.2.15. 
bind8 , squid , apache ,smb (with  workgroup=WORKGROUP) are installed.

My Client :
WinNT 4.0 , using Communicator 4.7 as mailclient.
Network has installed just TCP/IP.

I´m using a 10MBit Ethernet,in a 192.168.1.x-net. 

The Linux-Server has IP 192.168.1.3,NT has 192.168.1.1 . 

Following i show some entries of my named-logfile :

Maybe someone in the list knows which mistake i made ,
probably in the configuration files.

I attached all configuration-files in one tared and zipped file.

May i should tell what my aim is :

I want my clients to use the nameserver running on the linux-machine.

The nameserver shall resolve internal adresses in my 192.168.1.x
and external adresses (for the surfing thing ...)  


Best regards 

Harry
