Hello all, When I do : "host 192.168.1.78" I get the following answer: Host 78.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) How can I fix this? TIA
DNS setting not saved at OS level Hi again, I attempted to create a zone for reverse lookup purposes. See attachment. It does not put anything in the /etc/named.conf file - at all. What is the problem? TIA Also, just to be clear, the info entered is: Zone: 78.1.168.in-addr.arpa. NS: ns1.pridelands.com. Email: d0mufasa.sbcglobal.net.

Getting closer - the latest results Things worked better when I used the option to "Add New DNS Zones With Wizard". It seems to work for "nala.pridelands.com" but not nala. Is there a way to fix this so it when doing "host nala", you will get an IP address?

Hello and thanks for the response, When following your instructions above I get the following: nala:~ # host 192.168.1.78 78.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ns1.pridelands.com. I dont get nala nor do i get nala.pridelands.com I have 5 machines here locally. All 5 are defined in the DNS server. One of the machines has the hostname of nala not nala.pridelands.com but just nala I am installing a product on nala that requires the reverse lookup definition of 192.168.1.78 to be nala Again, not nala.pridelands.com but just nala. Would a better way to deal with this be to just remove the definition of nala from the DNS server so that the definition of nala in the /etc/hosts file will become valid?
