[ILUG] dhcpd/bind/lookup problems

[David Ryan]

Have a look at - http://www.acmebw.com/askmrdns/bind-messages.html - for
an explanation of most of the weird messages that BIND generates.

The entry for 'sysquery: nlookup error on ?' doesn't initially look like
it relates directly to your problem unless . . . your DNS server doesn't
have a zone file for 11.11.10.in-addr.arpa and then attempts to go find
it and then discovers it doesn't have any forwarder details and so
resorts to the root name servers and then discovers it doesn't even have
the zone file for the root servers either.

Try the following :
nslookup[CR]
set type=ptr[CR]
5.11.11.10.in-addr.arpa[CR]

This should return acer or acer.whatever - if it doesn't then it looks
like your DNS server isn't configured for that zone.
