Your /etc/resolv.conf file should be setup to use your local nameserver, not your upstreams. Which means it should look something like this: # cat /etc/resolv.conf domain somedomain.com nameserver 127.0.0.1 > > I have been struggling with this problem for a while, and it is quite > annoying. I would appreciate all the help I could get on the subject. > If you give more details and send your /etc/namedb/named.conf and your /etc/resolv.conf files, it should be pretty easy to fix. By details, I mean what host(s) your connecting from, which zones you you are doing reverses, slave on, etc. Nick Rogness - Drive defensively. Buy a tank.
