Probelm with the local DNS Server ...

sys7em · 03-30-2005, 11:28 AM

Hello to everyone ...

Here's my issue ...

I have setuped a small DNS Server for my HOME LAN Network ... Assume 3 PC's
192.168.0.1 -> ng.lan (Slackware 10)
192.168.0.2 -> nfs.ng.lan
192.168.0.3 -> jori.ng.lan

When I do ...ping www.ng.lan ... everything is working fine .. the machine is being pinged (192.168.0.1) .. the web server is being browsed etc. etc..

But when I do

$ping ng.lan .. nothing happens

I open a browser and I type http://ng.lan ...again nothing happens ...

Here's my Zone file:

Quote:

;
; Zone File for "ng.lan" - Internal ONLY
;
$TTL 1D
@ IN SOA galaxy.ng.lan. sasho.ng.lan. (
10 ; Serial
8H ; Refresh
2H ; Retry
4W ; Expire
1D ) ; Minimum
;
IN NS galaxy ; Name Server for the domain
IN MX 10 galaxy ; Mail Exchange
;
galaxy IN A 192.168.0.1 ; IP address for 'galaxy'
www IN CNAME galaxy ; 'galaxy' is also known as www
ftp IN CNAME galaxy ; 'galaxy' is also known as ftp

;
nfs IN A 192.168.0.2 ; IP address for 'wkstn1'
jori IN A 192.168.0.3 ; IP address for 'wkstn2'

Here's the output of #dig www.ng.lan

Here's the output of

$dig ng.lan (Without www)

Any help will be of use ... Plz give a minute of your time and help a linux fellow

P.S. I forgot to mention that I use Bind 9.3.0 and Slackware 10 with Kernel 2.4.26

Cheers

You need to add multiple a records...you have an A record for www.ng.lan, but there is not one for ng.lan..add an A record just like www.ng.lan, but without the 'www'...incriment the serial number on the zone file and restart bind.
