Hi,

My machine (10.25.165.1) is acting up, it does a reverse query on 127.0.0.1 to
the nameserver, even though the contents of /etc/hosts are OK. Here are the
errors from the DNS machine on the network:

Aug  9 22:55:58 backup named[316]: denied query from [10.25.165.1].58547 for
"1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN
Aug  9 22:55:58 backup named[316]: denied query from [10.25.165.1].47460 for
"1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN

The machine "backup" is 10.25.165.5.
Here is the content of /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost

Here are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 10.25.162.1
nameserver 10.25.163.1
nameserver 10.25.165.5
domain tecdigital.net


I don't understand why the machine 10.25.165.1 is doing a reverse query on
127.0.0.1? Shouldn't it look first in /etc/hosts and find the result?

The machine in question is a 4.3-RELEASE machine (releng_4_3), with an
uname -a:
FreeBSD www.tecdigital.net 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Mon Aug  6
15:07:51 CDT 2001     madd@tecdigital.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TEC-DIGITAL
i386

The DNS machine (10.25.165.5) is configured to only allow queries to the zone
"0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" to the localhost.

Please help me, I'm stumped.


Sincerely,



Mario Doria
