It will not respond to queries on the loop back ip address of "127.0.0.1" It is completely a backup DNS, with no "master" domains except the zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" .. The /etc/resolv.conf : nameserver 127.0.0.1 domain mydomain.com But when I change the IP address in this file from "127.0.0.1" to "10.1.1.1" (the local IP for a NIC) DNS works perfectly. The /etc/namedb/named.0.0.127.rev file does appears to be fine with an entry for "localhost" ie 1 IN PTR localhost. The /etc/namedb/named.conf file has the appropriate lines: zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "named.0.0.127.rev"; }; When I try to do: # nslookup 127.0.0.1 I get: Server: dns0.mydomain.com Address: 10.1.1.1 Name: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 The problem I have is if I set the "nameserver" line in the /etc/resolv.conf to "127.0.0.1" DNS does not respond anymore... this is very strange!! Has anyone go any ideas??? Regards Greg __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
