Hello,
Am running Bind 9 in Cent OS 5.1. I have a DNS server, that:
- DNS server to hosts in lab.company.com - 192.168.17.x
- forwards query to company.com - 10.100.x.x.
Problem:
1. FQDN and by-IP-address ping and nslookup is successful.
2. ping/nslookup by host-name-only --- from any 192.168.17.x hosts to
any 10.100.x.x hosts fail and vice versa.
I have setup the DNS of lab.company.com - to forward query to the DNS
server of 10.100.x.x.hosts through the /etc/named.conf -
options {
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 10.100.1.5; };
forwarders { 10.100.1.5 port 53;
};
What tools/logs can I check to troubleshoot this? should I be
configuring this as a forwarder or should I configure my DNS as a
subdomain to the company.com DNS?
pls advise.

Vince

What is the IP adress of the DNS server for company.com? What are the contents of the resolv.conf file on the machine you're testing? Basically on your server (the one for lab.company.com) you should have a forwarders entry pointing to the IP of the DNS server for company.com. In the other DNS server, the one that handles company.com, you should have in the company.com zone an NS entry for the "lab" name pointing to the IP of your DNS server, the one for lab.company.com.
