ok - so my lab.company.com is authoritative, so it should keep a copy
of company.com's information then and be able to respond to queries
even within the domain of company.com?

i'm sorry, but how do i configure (or any pointer pls?) so that I do
not point to the public root servers? i just followed templates;
whereas, the company.com DNS, I was not the one who configured it.
I think the issues I have encountered are less now....
My questions.
1. From my lab.company.com DNS server - do I need to update my
/etc/resolv.conf file so that it shows:
search lab.company.com company.com
nameserver 192.168.17.2
nameserver 10.100.1.24
2. With the above /etc/resolv.conf I can ping forward and backwards
hosts, except - reverse lookup to host within company.com's domain
still shows the root servers .. :(
3. Strangest and confusing, is performing nslookup FROM
lab.company.com's DNS server :
a. responds to nslookup company.com:
nslookup 192.168.17.1
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
1.17.168.192.in-addr.arpa name = qatest1.lab.maxiscale.com.
[root@myhost named]# nslookup maxiscale.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: company.com
Address: 10.100.1.24
BUT it can't find an answer for ITS OWN domain:
nslookup lab.company.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
*** Can't find lab.company.com: No answer
.... I must be missing something in my /var/named configuration
files? Please advise.
thanks in advance,
from my lab.company.com DNS server
1. ping/nslookup
