Re: DNS problem

to see if named pack is installed, do:

[root@server home]# rpm -qa | grep bind

bindconf-1.4-1 (not necessary needed)

bind-9.2.1-0.71.1

bind-utils-9.2.1-0.71.1

if you don't got them, you need to install them

by default, named is listening on all addresses

start named with command:

[root@server home]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start

to see if you've running named processes, do:

[root@server home]# ps -ef | grep named

named 25446 1 0 19:16 ? 00:00:00 named -u named

named 25448 25446 0 19:16 ? 00:00:00 named -u named

named 25449 25448 0 19:16 ? 00:00:00 named -u named

named 25450 25448 0 19:16 ? 00:00:00 named -u named

named 25451 25448 0 19:16 ? 00:00:00 named -u named

root 27282 24938 0 20:36 pts/1 00:00:00 grep named

check if it's working:

[root@server home]# nslookup www.yahoo.com

Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.

Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with

the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.

Non-authoritative answer:

www.yahoo.com canonical name = www.yahoo.akadns.net .

Name: www.yahoo.akadns.net

Thanks , I will add the IP addresses of nameservers.

But I can no longer see the 'named' process on my Linux gateway. I
do not know why it has disappeared. How can I re-install it?
