Hi,
I have installed centos 4.3, it has been working fine but today I couldn't use the dns service. I try to check the named status and got the following :
rndc: Couldn't find server 'localhost': Name or service not known
I will appreciate any help, it is a production box and i have to fix it asap.
Regards,
a google of that error: "rndc: Couldn't find server 'localhost'" returned the following results.

The following post on an HP forum might be a good place to start.

however, without any more information that just the error message there isn't much else we can offer you.

Ran into the same exact issue - run rndc-confgen and put the key in your named.conf file. You may also need to comment out the caching only config if you are using it. and also the line: include /etc/rndc.key as well when you run rndc-confgen, it will gen a new key and the output will have the syntax and directions to use the new key.
For example: You will put the following in named.conf: key "rndc-key" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "YourNewly-genned-rndc-key-here"; };
controls { inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; }; }; restart named after making the changes
