} } Let me restate what i am trying to do and the original error: } } I have a centos-4 machine that acts as a samba file server and my ntp } time server. I now want to have it be a dns caching name server for my } network since my firewall's caching is not long enough for me. When i } start it up i get no errors. However, when i try to use it from one of } my internal hosts i get the following error: } *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.200: No response from } server } Server: jericho.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com } Address: 192.168.0.1 } } Non-authoritative answer: } Name: cgalliance.org } Address: 64.202.166.214 } } 192.168.0.200 is named Enoch.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com and it's ip } address is static. 192.168.0.1 is the Astaro firewall which i want } Enoch to goto if the cached request is expired or not present. I am } sure i deleted something i was not supposed to in following various net } guides. I could reinstall the system but that is the windows way of } doing things. BIND is what i wish to use. I have the base bind package } and caching-name server installed. I ma sure some conf files are either } missing or broken. For some odd reason BIND is NOT chrooted like some } folks have said it should be and this could be the root cause.
what happens when you just type "dig" and hit enter while on "enoch"?
do you get a response? where does it say that response comes from at the bottom?
for some reason im guessing that you do not have a hints file called named.ca and although i went back and fully reviewed the threads on the website, i might have missed something.
it seems to me that there is too much stuff that is not needed on the named.conf file as well. if i remember right ipv6 can be turned off in /etc/modprobe.conf with this addition
alias net-pf-10 off
i dont recall what you have to do to make it effective/active though ie how to soft reload modprobe.conf
maybe i am way off. anyone?
is the daemon actually loading without errors? ;)
i gotta get outta here. catch ya all in a few.
