Just making sure but did you install bind and start it up? bind doesn't
run by default.

Hi *,
I have an AIX server which i want configure as a DNS server,
and
this would be used by only 2-3 pc's. I have done the following to
configure
the same,
* Created a file named.boot under /etc, whose contents are
directory /etc
primary testitc.com named.data
primary in-addr.arpa named.rev
* Created a file named.data using the awk script given in
/usr/samples/tcpip
* Then changed the hostname to a fully qualified domain name
* Created the file resolv.conf under /etc with the following
entries
nameserver 127.0.0.1
domain testitc.com
but when i give nslookup it says "cannot find server.......:Server
failed"
Can some let me know where am i going wrong.
It would be great if someone can give steps to configure a DNS server.
This
is not for a Production environment,so only resolution of the hostname
is
sufficient.
TIA
Praveen.K
