Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I really need some help to understand by name resolution is not working from a client machine.<BR>
<BR>
$ nslookup vm2.homenetwork.com<BR>;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached<BR>
<BR>
Here are some details:<BR>
1. Version of bind installed is 9.3 on EL5.<BR>
2. I can successfully perform nslookup, reverse lookup, dig, host commands on the DNS server itself.<BR>
3. I can ping from the client to the DNS<BR>
4. I can telnet (at port 53) successfully from client to DNS<BR>
5. No error messages in /var/log/messages<BR>
6. I have turned off Firewall between DNS and client (iptables off, ip6tables off, selinux disabled)<BR>
7. I have tried to strace the nslookup it appears that it is sending the lookup command to the right place.<BR>
<BR>
sendmsg(20, {msg_name(16)={sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.10")}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\263\221\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\3vm2\vhomenetwork\3com"..., 37}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0 <unfinished ...><BR><BR>
Can someone please help me understand why this is not working?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
Sachin.<BR>
