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.
