Hello,


I am having problems with fetch and ftp, being unable to resolve any DNS 
related matters. Like hostnames and stuff.

However, nslookup, dig, and those tools still work just fine, i am 
wondering what the problem could be. See output below.

If you need any other info, please let me know, the owner is thinking of 
having it reinstalled by the data center, but i would like to get to the 
bottom of this.

Sequence of event in the last 4 days:

1. tinydns installed, setup, and totally ready
2. tinydns data copied to a  new server, deamontools, tinydns and its 
stuff uninstalled
3. Nothing done for a day or two
4. Login to setup a mail server, fetch is unable to retrieve ports
5. Try to trouble shoot
6. No means available to get it to work, and here i am.

uname -a:

charon# uname -a

It is a xeon p4 proc. with hyperthreading.

Some stats about the IP's that are currently set:

charon# ifconfig -a
