I was using nslookup because of its convenient syntax to do some stuff. My
workstation communicates via a gateway which also severs as its name server. I
get the following:
nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.3.1: Non-existent host/domain
*** Can't find server name for address ::: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
However dig works fine as does "regular" use of DNS.
/etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.3.1
I started and stopped named and was able to use nslookup for a while.
My question for the list is where I might look to find an indication of the
error. there is nothing in /var/log/messages or all.log. Sockstat shows named
listening on 192.168.3.1. Except for an occasional abnormally long response
using ssh DNS also works normally.
Thanks for any ideas.
