Having some problem with my BIND server resolving names. What I notice is that my internal zones are not resolving while my external work fine

[root@dns04 var]# dig @127.0.0.01 server3.example.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6.3 <<>> @127.0.0.01 server3.example.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;server3.example.com. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
server3.example.com. 874 IN A 1.1.1.1

Internal Dig:

[root@dns04 var]# dig server1

Hi,

You should have a "search..." or "domain..." line in /etc/resolv.conf, e.g.
In this case you have to run:
to resolve a non-FQDN.

Regards

Thanks for your reply, here is my resolv.conf and the results of dig server1 +search

search exmaple.com
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 205.171.3.65

dig +search server1
connection timed out; trying next origin
connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Is 1.1.1.1 your dns? Make sure it's running and since you cannot reach also the other nameservers, chekc if there is a firewall blocking port 53 udp/tcp outgoing traffic.

Regards
