DNS woes
Greets all!
Here's my (somewhat strange) situation, I hope someone can help.
I have a 2.0 box configured as a DNS for our intranet. Said Debian box has 2 NIC's in it, one for
the public side (internet) and one for our provate side (intranet.) I was wondering (mainly) how
to make the DNS only answer queries from the private side, not the public side also.
On a related note, I have something that is puzzling me regarding said DNS server. I have the IP
address of the DNS in the /etc/resolv.conf files of two linux boxes (one Debian, the other Red
Hat) that are behind the firewall. I can resolve host names using the DNS, but if I try something
like nslookup, the output looks something like this:
mothra:~#nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 172.17.1.40: Non-existant host/domain
*** Default servers are not available
mothra:~#
The DNS at 172.17.1.40 is in it's own named table (obviously) and I even went so far as to put
the IP address and machine name in the /etc/hosts file. Am I missing something here?
Any help that I can get will be appreciated!!
