-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I need to setup an internal root name server in my private network. I am using bind v8.1.1 (Solaris 2.5.1). Does anyone have any pointers on how to achieve this? For those of you not already asleep, the primary nameserver for the root domain and the organisation domain are the same server (I know this is a bad idea but that's just how it is). The nameserver starts up OK (no errors) but when I query the nameserver (dig xxx) it returns zero responses. If I use a FQDN (dig xxx.org.dom) I get the correct result. I do have "domain org.dom" in /etc/resolv.conf and "dns hosts" in /etc/nsswitch.conf. If I dump the nameserver database it looks OK. Perplexed, England. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBNSEjwFtv3tEWY+eVEQKR2ACfdOYy65pzhwQ4RfybTQ7UyZD1f7cAoNLU h9DPr9cYJdPhmPOwGr/zJzAZ =PNJx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- Dave Haywood Network Manager ICL-CFM +44 194 223 5609 C85A 41F5 350F 0F5B 1489 C4BA 5B6F DED1 1663 E795

What do you mean, "that is how it is"?

You haven't explained the problem very well. What do you mean by an "internal root"? Do you have a server serving "."? If so, are your internal records immediately under "." or are they under a more reasonable spot? Why are you doing this in the first place? Perry
