I am still working on some Bind 9 DNS servers, and not getting the results I am looking for. I am following this doc http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO-3.html Cache dns works for workstations, but I am not getting the right answer from localhost. The first example is what I get with dig on my new server. The second example is what I want, and get with dig on a server I set up last year. I am not seeing anything different in how they are set up. Any ideas what to look for? <example 1> [root at enforcer pz]# dig -x 127.0.0.1 ; <<>> DiG 9.2.2-P3 <<>> -x 127.0.0.1 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 52177 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.
