Your server software is being unfriendly

Here is my configuration:

After reading all I could find on the net and newsgroup, here is what I concluded:

RESLVCNF.NET.SYS  overtakes HOSTS.NET.SYS, so I renamed HOSTS to HOSTS1

Apparently when you do an nslookup it looks at the file

:

/BIND/PUB/etc/named.conf

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is the content of named.conf:

cat named.conf

options {

directory "/BIND/PUB/etc";

// The following is the IP address of the MPE/iX system that is running NAMED.

// YOU MUST CHANGE THIS TO BE YOUR OWN IP ADDRESS!

listen-on { 192.168.1.8; }; (I changed this line from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

};

/*** List any servers here that you communicate with that are also running

BIND 8.1 or greater. Replace ALL OF THESE with your own servers, if any. ***/

server 192.168.1.8 { (I changed this line from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

transfer-format many-answers;

};

// Defines the root. From ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/named.root.

zone "." {

type hint;

file "zone.hint";

};

// DNS optimization tricks for "special" addresses. You will need to

//

edit all of these files to specify the hostname of your own nameserver

//

and the e-mail address of the DNS maintainer.

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {

type master;

file "zone.127.0.0";

};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" {

type master;

file "zone.bogus.0";

};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" {

type master;

file "zone.bogus.255";

};

// A master zone. Substitute one of your own zones here.

zone "mpe.hp.com" {

type master;

file "zone.master";

};

// Slave zones. Replace ALL OF THESE with your own.

zone "csy.hp.com" {

type slave;

file "zone.slave";

masters { nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn; nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn; };

};

I have a symlink (symbolic link) to: /etc/resolv.conf



Here is the content of RESLVCNF.NET.SYS

#resolv.conf file

#Copy this file to RESLVCNF.NET.SYS if that file does not already exist.

#

#format (without the '#', of course):

#

domain S969KS.JET.ROYAL

#search <path1> <path2> ... <pathn>

nameserver 192.168.1.8

#nameserver <secondary server's IP address>

#nameserver <tertiary server's IP address>

#

#Note 1: Change the domain entry on the last line of this file to your

# actual domain.

#Note 2: The search entry is optional. Add one if users on this system will

# commonly try to connect to nodes in other domains.

#Note 3: Add one to three (typically 2 or 3) nameserver entries at the end

# of this file. Make sure they are each an IP-address where a server

# resides. If you have no server, do not add any nameserver entry,

# so the resolver will not time-out trying to connect to a server

# that does not exist; rather, it will immediately revert to the

#

#example (replace 'hp' with your company's name):

#

#search local-domain.hp.com other-domain.hp.com hp.com

#

domain S969KS

nameserver 192.168.1.8

127.0.0.1 localhost S969KS   (I added this line as suggested on the internet)

Where have I gone wrong.
