DNS Setup Issue - Please help

Running SuSE 9.1

I installed bind-9.2.3-76 from rpm. I used yast-DNS Server to
configure a Master Domain but Resolution doesn't work. I just get a
Server Failed error.

*** Result of nslookup ***

Y:\>nslookup
Default Server: [172.16.4.34]
Address: 172.16.4.34

> bigiron1.josh.int.

Server: [172.16.4.34]

I'd strongly suggest against using this tool. Try www.tldp.org
(DNS howto) it has among others a step-by-step howto for setting
up small zone, which should allow you to get things working ans
understand how it works. Best idea to disable suseconfig
somewhere in /etc/sysconfig so it doesn't muck around with your
manual changes.

Good luck

Heiming is right. Just to add, you might follow this easier guideline
only after reading that THE "DNS-howto".

Big clue right there

>remote01 IN A 172.16.4.34
>josh.int IN NS remote01
>bigiron1 IN A 172.16.2.10

1. The output of the command '/sbin/ifconfig -a'
2. The output of the command '/sbin/route -n'
3. The output of the command '/sbin/iptables -L'
4. The output of the command '/bin/cat /etc/resolv.conf'
5. The output of the command '/bin/netstat -tupan'

If you are also using windoze, look at the comparable commands. Briefly,
the error message says the resolver on "this" host was unable to connect
to the name server. Address mismatch, firewall, or the server isn't
running.
