I'm hoping this will be simple, I ran into this issue before but don't<br>
remember what I did to resolve it.<br>
<br>
I'm setting up a DNS in my house, it almost works. Nslookup returns<br>
the correct values but when I try to ssh to a system I have to add a<br>
period to the end of the system name for ssh to work.<br>
<br>
here is some of the information from named.conf<br>
<br>
options {<br>
directory "/var/named";<br>
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";<br>
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";<br>
/*<br>
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want<br>
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source<br>
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked<br>
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged<br>
* port by default.<br>
*/<br>
// query-source address * port 53;<br>
};<br>
<br>
<br>
zone "43p." IN {<br>
type master;<br>
file "43p_0.db";<br>
};<br>
zone "router." IN {<br>
type master;<br>
file "router_0.db";<br>
};<br>
zone "41t." IN {<br>
type master;<br>
file "41t_0.db";<br>
};<br>
<br>
<br>
Here is an example of the zone files<br>
<br>
$TTL 1H<br>
@ SOA 43p.home.local. root.dell.home.local. ( 2<br>
3H<br>
1H<br>
1W<br>
1H )<br>
NS 43p.home.local.<br>
A 192.168.1.50<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
