[SunHELP] Bind 9.2.3

[Vermette, Matt Spawar (723)]

Do you have a mailhost entry in the following files:
/etc/hosts
/etc/sendmail.cf
 
also, your entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file for hosts should reflect:
hosts:    files,dns

	Hi
	
	I wonder if someone can help me.
	
	I am trying to configure bind 9 on solaris 9 and I think I have a basic
	config up and working but nslookup and dig are coming back with strange
	responses.
	
	if I dig mailhost.accesscomputing.co.uk I get an answer with the address
	I would expect.
	
	However if I dig mailhost then I get :
	
	; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> mailhost
	;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
	;; res_nsend to server default -- 213.128.229.177: Connection timed out
	
	nslookup does not want to seem to play at all:
	
	# nslookup mailhost
	*** Can't find server name for address 213.128.229.177: No response from
	server
	*** Default servers are not available
	
	# nslookup mailhost.accesscomputing.co.uk
	*** Can't find server name for address 213.128.229.177: No response from
	server
	*** Default servers are not available
	
	Any suggestions why a fully qualified name would work in dig but not an
	unqualified name?
	
	Cheers
	
	Lara
