To find out whether your problem really is dns-related, try adding entries to /etc/hosts for the other machine on both sides in the form of:
192.168.5.1 host1.domain.com host1_alias
Also make sure your /etc/host.conf says:
order hosts, bind
which tells it to search in etc/host before asking your dns-server.
serge.
p.s. make sure you are using your dns-server, check for /etc/resolv.conf to have 127.0.0.1 as the fist line.

hi all,
i just installed red hat linux 6.0 on my system ...
now i was trying to configure the caching-only dns.
( as it takes quite long to get the prompt when i telnet from other machine
on the network )
for that i edited the /etc/named.conf file and added
zone "5.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.192.168.5";
};
then i created the file /var/named/named.192.168.5
and put in the related hostname and domain name etc ..
finally i restarted the named : /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart
still when i telnet 192.168.5.3 from my windows machine on the network, it
takes over 60 secounds to show the prompy
please guide me as to how to correct this...
thanks a tonne,
regards,
gaurav
