I've tried both. One thing I just noticed, is when I run a netstat -ap, it lists the first few lines, hangs for a while, and then finishes up. It appears that it is hanging on the socket that bind is listening on. Once I shut down named, the netstat command no longer hangs. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schott, Erik J Mr ANOSC/FCBS Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 13:37 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Bind Conf Have you tried nslookup, or dig? -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jay Berryman Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 12:04 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Bind Conf Here is the output from /var/log/messages: Named[1689]: starting Bind 9.2.2-P3 -u named -t /var/named/chroot Named[1689]: using 1 CPU Named[1689]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Named[1689]: no IPv6 interfaces found Named[1689]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Named[1689]: listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 10.251.32.61#53 Named[1689]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Here is my /etc/named.conf file: options { directory "/var/named"; }; zone "."

When you restart RedHat do you see any messages regarding bind in the output? Eyeball the entries in your named.conf file and bounce them against the file names in /var/named to see if they match. Also, double-check the entries in your files in /var/named. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jay Berryman Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 11:25 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Bind Conf I am still getting the same error message. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jay Berryman Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 12:23 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Bind Conf I shut off iptables on both the DNS server and the client. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Benjamin J.
