[ale] Real:DNS on Linux

[Christopher Fowler]

I'm trying to install DNS on a linux server on a private network and
I'm having a few problems.

Here are my config files:

/etc/named.boot

;
;    boot file for name server
;
;directory /etc
directory /var/adm/named
primary    100.202.200.IN-ADDR.ARPA      csi.com

/var/adm/named/csi.com

@		IN	SOA	csi.com	pentium.csi.com. (
				1	; Serial
				28800	; Refresh
				7200	; Retry
				604800	; Expire
				86400)	; Minimum TTL	
11		IN	PTR	pentium.

tf500		A	200.202.100.2
test		A	200.202.100.3


WHen I do a nslookup I get thew following:

B
Default Server:  pentium
Address:  0.0.0.0

> Server:  pentium
Address:  0.0.0.0

**** pentium can't find tf500: quit *****

> 

This is just to serve names of 30 computers non on the internet.  I do not like
editing 30 host files so that is why I'm setting up DNS.

but I can not view the IP address of tf500 and even when I do a
nslookup I it states the address of pentium as 0.0.0.0 .

Does ne1 know what I've done wrong.  The DNS faq assumed you were connecting to the
internet and it was not very helpful.


Thanks,
Christopher Fowler
