It seem my first summary never got through. Here it is again. Hello, I got the solution to my nslookup problem within an hour. Thanks to Paul Southworth (pauls@etext.org). I did not include the full message but the problem can be summarized as follows. My very old ULTRIX machines try to do some inverse query when i start up "nslookup" which is not supported by all BIND server. Here are the 3 solution suggested : > > 1. If you're running BIND v8 on your nameserver, add "fake i-query yes;" > to your named.conf and restart the server. This should go in a global > "options" section of the named.conf > > 2. If you're running BIND v4 on your nameserver, you could recompile > named and "#define INVQ" in conf/options.h > > 3. You could compile BIND on your Ultrix system (either v4 or v8) and > replace nslookup with the one that ships with BIND. It won't use an > inverse query to discover the canonical name of the nameserver. > Solution # 1 worked for for me. I should probably also update "nslookup". I had several answers statint that it was bugged on ULTRIX.
