again, I prefer to use Bind. Is djbdns in the Centos tree?

How can i fix the revrese resolving issue?
Number to name resolution is exactly the same as name to number, except that the actual names involved are constructed by reversing the IP number octets and appending in-addr.arpa. If your server isn't configured to answer for your private address ranges itself, it will pass the query off to the root servers like everything else, and of course no one else is going to know anything about your private ranges.
If you look at the entry for zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa noting that the filename must be different for each zone and lives in the directory mentioned at the top (relative to the chroot location if your version does a chroot), you will see what you need to do. If you have webmin, it will offer to build the reverse zones for machines you put in forward lookup zones but you can do it by hand or find a script that does it if you prefer. To fix your nslookup issue you only have to make 192.168.0.200 work, so try adding that to understand the principle.
*super dns newb here. How would i go about making it work? i'll take a gander inside webmin and see if i can figure it out though*
geez. all this trouble....install djbdns and you will forget about its existence. Things just work.
In bind, you need to define a 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa zone and create the stuff similar to the 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
200 IN PTR your.name.
With djbdns, you can just install and run walldns and forward/split-horizon queries for 0.168.192.in-addra.arpa to the walldns instance if you don't need names. or you install tinydns if you want names. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos .
