All my machines except one are windows 2000 professional machines. The other is winme(for my daughter's older games). I think i managed to screw up my BIND configs though. erasing and reinstalling Bind is not fixing it. What files does everyone want posted so this issue can get fixed?
I could easily just reload the system..but that's the winders way of doing things..:)
I'd try rpm -e bind (assuming that /etc/resolv.conf points at your other namesever for now) Make sure that /etc/named.conf and /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf are gone, then yum install bind
Then make sure that /etc/named.conf installs as a symlink pointing to /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf and edit in the forward statements pointing to your gateway dns server. Then service named start and look in /var/log/messages for any errors.
Note that local DNS resolution is controlled by /etc/resolv.conf regardless of whether you have named running or not, so test with dig @localhost then pointing some other boxes at it. When you are sure it is working you can change resolv.conf to use the local server.
