In-Reply-To: Your message of "Tue, 19 Oct 1999 13:03:21 EDT." Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 15:38:54 -0400 From: Mitch Collinsworth Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This error comes from nslookup, not from named. The problem is that nslookup wants to be able to do a reverse lookup on the IP address of the nameserver it's using. If it can't, it gives up and refuses to work at all, and gives this error message. In order to make nslookup happy you need an in-addr.arpa entry for the 192.168.1.11 address. I really don't understand why nslookup is like this, but that's life. See p. 67 of the cricket book (3rd ed.) for details. -Mitch > Hi there, Ill try not to confuse myself to much on the following >question. I have set up a slave dns server using bind 8.
