DNS Server: UnKnown

cccc · 03-01-2006, 07:44 PM

hi

I've setuped a public DNS-Server BIND 9 on linux Debian Sarge.
it seems to work, but I have a following problem:
if I try lookup from an external client, then I get:

C:\>nslookup google.com
*** Can't find server name for address 202.X.X.10: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 202.X.X.10

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Addresses: 72.14.207.99, 64.233.167.99, 64.233.187.99

I'd like to get the answer from my DNS-Server:
domain.net or ext.domain.net
and not Server: UnKnown

I've tried already to setup a new Master Zone for the domain: domain.net using the webmin:

Code:

 
zone "domain.net" {
	type master;
	file "/etc/bind/domain.net.hosts";
	};

but still doesn't work.

First, what is in your resolv.conf as the DNS server you are querying?

Second, look at this other post, where I was trying to help this guy... hopefully it helps ya my friend:

that could be not a problem of /etc/resolv.conf

Code:

# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search domain.net
nameserver 127.0.0.1
domain domain.net

and sorry about that, but this link doesn't help.

I think the problem is because reverse zone is missing

Do you have a zone file setup for this domain on your machine?

I don't mean to be dense, but your question is slightly confusing, and I would like to help.

I've done following using the webmin:

short information:
ext.domain.net is the name of this name server
and domain.net is domain of this name server

1.) first I've created a new reverse master zone:

Code:

zone "202.X.X.in-addr.arpa" {
	type master;
	file "/etc/bind/202.X.X.rev";
        notify yes;
        };

2.) next step, I've created a master zone for my dns server ext.domain.net:

Code:

zone "domain.net" {
	type master;
	file "/etc/bind/domain.net.hosts";
        notify yes;
        allow-query { any; };   
	};

3.) using webmin I've opened the zone master zone: domain.net, clicked on Address and I've add the following:

Code:

ext.domain.net. 	Default 	202.X.X.10
domain.net. 	        Default         202.X.X.10
www.domain.net. 	Default 	202.X.X.10

now I have:

Code:

# vi domain.net.hosts

$ttl 38400
domain.net. IN SOA ext.domain.net. postmaster.domain.net. (
1141342035
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
domain.net. IN NS ext.domain.net.
ext.domain.net. IN A 202.X.X.10
domain.net. IN A 202.X.X.10

and reverse zone is:

Code:

# vi 202.X.X.rev
$ttl 38400
X.X.202.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA ext.domain.net. postmaster.domain.net. (
1141342019
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
X.X.202.in-addr.arpa. IN NS ext.domain.net.
10.X.X.202.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ext.domain.net.

it seems to work now and I get on the client:

Code:

C:\>nslookup www.domain.net
Server:  ext.domain.net
Address:  202.X.X.10

Name:    www.domain.net
Address:  202.X.X.10

I hope it's everything OK now, if no pls correct me and let me know !
