Situation:	I have moved my Linux server to my college, my college
provides me four IP addresses (203.111.111.111 - 114). I use only one IP
address 203.111.111.111. Since I don't want to use my college name
server as a resolver so I build the named in my own Linux server.


What did I do?
1. Set up the named package.
2. I did not configure the named at all.
3. Start the named.
4. Edit the "resolv.conf"
	search  mydomain.com
	nameserver 127.0.0.1
5. Edit the "host.conf"
	order hosts, bind
	multi on


Problem:	
The named resolver does not work.
It works when I ping the outside IP addresses.
It does not work when I ping the domain names (such as ping
www.yahoo.com).


Did I do something wrong? How do I set up the named as a resolver for
"MY OWN USE"?


Many Thanks!

Happy new year.

check the /etc/nsswitch.conf file for the hosts line. host.conf was
the old way of resolving,  but I think the glibc checks for it.

So routing works!

I guess you want your named taking to the root nameservers then.  Did
you install a caching nameserver config. is there any forward[er]
references in your named.conf.  

You will need a xone "." which is of type hint.
