Check your syslog file for error messages.
See Solaris Naming Administration Guide for common DNS error messages and troubleshooting information.
-
Look up a host name in the local domain with nslookup.
dnsmaster% nslookup altair Server: dnsmaster.doc.com Address: 192.146.168.5 Name: altair.doc.com Address: 192.146.168.10
-
If your lookup is successful, your name server is probably functioning correctly.
-
If your lookup is successful, your name server is probably functioning correctly.
-
Look up a remote domain name with nslookup.
If your network is connected to the Internet, look up the name of a remote domain. (If your network is not connected to the Internet, look up the name of a subdomain in another zone, if you have one.) For example, to look up the name of the remote internic.net Internet domain, you would enter:
dnsmaster% nslookup internic.net Server: dnsmaster.doc.com Address: 192.146.168. Name: internic.net Addresses: 198.41.0.9, 198.41.0.6, 198.41.0.5, 198.41.0.8
-
If you are successful, your name server is probably functioning correctly.
-
If the above command does not find the remote domain name, one
possible cause is that your network's connection to the Internet is not
functioning properly.
-
Another possible cause is that your named.ca file is not properly installed or set up.
-
If you are successful, your name server is probably functioning correctly.
-
Look up a host name in your domain from a remote domain.
If your network is connected to the Internet, look up the name of a host in your domain from a remote domain. (If your network is not connected to the Internet, look up the name of a host in your domain from another zone, if you have one.)
For example, to look up the name of a host in your domain, from a remote Internet domain, you would enter two arguments after the nslookup command: First the name of the host you are searching for, and second, the name of the name server you are testing:
remotemachine9% nslookup altair remotemaster.foo.org. Server: remotemaster.foo.org Address: 123.231.12.22 Name: altair.doc.com Addresses: 111.22.3.4
-
If you are successful, your name server is probably functioning correctly.
-
If the above command does not find the machine you are searching for,
one possible cause is that your domain is not properly registered with
whomever is administering the parent domain (.com in the above example).
-
If you are successful, your name server is probably functioning correctly.
