DNS snafu

[Chucil]

<br>
Hello,<br>
<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>

Check your /etc/resolv.conf file. Your domain must be set and the first name server should be either the loopback or localhost 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 <br>
<br>
This should take care of your resolving problems.
