hi, I am trying to configure DNS (BIND 9) for my local lan only. I want it for my apache/squirrelmail access from local lan pc's (dont have real IP ).My apache and postfix with squirrelmail running successfully.My problem is that i can not access my web server from other pc's in my lan by htt://host.localdomain but can access it by http://ipaddress_server. I have gone through many configurations but failed to get it running.pls help. Thanks
which dns-server is set on the clients you try to access / lookup host.localdomain? What is the output of nslookup host.localdomain from such client? What happens if you run nslookup host.localdomain or dig host.localdomain (depending on Windows / Linux) as OS on the DNS-Server machine? Does this result in a lookup for the correct IP?
server hostname :serv.lin.ald, ip address : 192.168.2.2 on windowx pc i dns is set to 192.168.2.2 and than i am trying to access the http://serv.lin.ald but no success. but http://192.168.2.2 wotking. from the same winxp PC : C:\>nslookup serv.lin.ald DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.2: Timed out *** Default servers are not available Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.2.2 *** UnKnown can't find serv.lin.ald: Server failed means my DNS int working.
will you pls guide me what should i put in named.conf, what zone's and and in zones files. (for Local Lan only)
i am having 3 PC's named as Boss (192.168.2.3), Home (192.168.2.4) , star (192.168.2.5) and my Mandrake 10.1 is acting as Web , Mail server (postfix,squirrelmail) i am able to see my index page/squirrelmail login page by IP address only (from boss,home,star), and from mandrake itself its fine i can see it by http://serv.lin.ald I am trying to configure DNS for the purpose so that i can access my web/mail by giving http://serv.lin.ald from boss,home and star.
The message means, that the DNS-Server that is expected to run on 192.168.2.2 is not answering. So at first you have to check on that machine why this is working / or not. For a general Information look at this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/traditional_dns_howto or check other howtos in the DNS-category
i have gone through several changes to my zone files now i am geting error like : Aug 23 17:10:37 serv named[23432]: dns_rdata_fromtext: named.local:3: near '20067042100': out of range Aug 23 17:10:37 serv named[23432]: zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading master file named.local: out of range what is this OUT OF RANGE !!!
If you google for "out of range"+bind+dns_rdata_fromtext you get results like this: http://marc.info/?l=bind9-users&m=98326029511386&w=2 maybe that helps otherwise you could post your bind configs here
Now i am through ..

Did you configure your zones on 192.168.2.2? Did you add your internal nameserver (192.168.2.2?) to /etc/resolv.conf (as the first nameserver entry) on the clients?
Thanks for you repply but now it seems working to me i am able to resolve ip-name and vice-versa ...still i am not sure what was causing of the problem.
