Dear Rodolfo and all:
Thank you for your response.
Would Fedora Core 3 solve the problem of ";;connection timed out; no servers
could be reached"? I usually get the message the first time I do the query
(#host www.yahoo.com) right after restarting named. And I had to do the
query 2 or 3 times to get named answer it correctly. This does not happen
with a query for a host in my local domains. I have tried it in RedHat7.3,
RedHat 9, and Fedora Core 2 and BIND still behaves the same.
For your reference, please see below the result of the above 'host' command:
----Start---------
[root@fc2linux root]# host www.yahoo.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[root@fc2linux root]# host www.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com is an alias for www.yahoo.akadns.net.
www.yahoo.akadns.net has address 66.94.230.52
www.yahoo.akadns.net has address 66.94.230.32
www.yahoo.akadns.net has address 66.94.230.34
www.yahoo.akadns.net has address 66.94.230.36
www.yahoo.akadns.net has address 66.94.230.38
www.yahoo.akadns.net has address 66.94.230.42
www.yahoo.akadns.net has address 66.94.230.43
www.yahoo.akadns.net has address 66.94.230.47
[root@fc2linux root]#
----End---------
And below is my /etc/named.conf file:
-----Start----------
// generated by named-bootconf.pl
options {
directory "/var/named";
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
};
//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
allow { localhost;127.0.0.1;} keys { rndckey; };
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";
zone "my.domain.org" IN {
type master ;
file "my.domain.org.dns" ;
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "1.168.192.dns";
};
-------END--------------
Hope for your kind response again.
Regards,
Vidol
