DNS snafu

[Chucil]

<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
I am actually running BSD, but since this is<br>
a DNS issue, i think I doesn't matter.<br>
<br>
Our DNS Server is not Y2K compliant, so I <br>
built another one. It has a newer version<br>
of BSD, so also probably a newer version<br>
of BIND. <br>
<br>
I simply copied /etc/named* and /etc/resolv.conf to the new<br>
server and gave it the IP address of the<br>
old server. I did a cp -pR to copy <br>
directories and permissions. <br>
<br>
Now, named is running and answering queries<br>
to our domains fine, but it can't resolve<br>
remote domains. It just times out. I checked the root.cche and it is the same on both machines. Am I overlooking something?<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!<br>

Did you make sure the machine still knows which Domain it's in & what it's individual name is?<br>
I.E. <A HREF="

http://www.yourdomain.com"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.yourdomain.com</A>

Also, can you pint the other machines? ie, is networking set up OK? Might also need to look at /etc/hosts.allow to make sure your new machine isn't blocked out for some reason.
