Bind Caching Nameserver <was: Re: Caching nameserver -- Name Services Cache Daemon (nscd)>

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Let me restate what i am trying to do and the original error:

I have a centos-4 machine that acts as a samba file server and my ntp 
time server.  I now want to have it be a dns caching name server for my 
network since my firewall's caching is not long enough for me.  When i 
start it up i get no errors.  However,  when i try to use it from one of 
my internal hosts i get the following error:
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.200: No response from 
server
Server:  jericho.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com
Address:  192.168.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    cgalliance.org
Address:  64.202.166.214

192.168.0.200 is named Enoch.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com and it's ip 
address is static.  192.168.0.1 is the Astaro firewall which i want 
Enoch to goto if the cached request is expired or not present.  I am 
sure i deleted something i was not supposed to in following various net 
guides.  I could reinstall the system but that is the windows way of 
doing things.  BIND is what i wish to use.  I have the base bind package 
and caching-name server installed.  I ma sure some conf files are either 
missing or broken.  For some odd reason BIND is NOT chrooted like some 
folks have said it should be and this could be the root cause.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
