mandrake 10.0
i have connected internet by a proxy server.
i know the remote DNS server ip address.
i have running "named" daemon.
but i did not get the IP ADDRESS OF A GOOGLE SERVER.

[root@Simlab-node3 staff]# dig google.com

; <<>> DiG 9.2.3 <<>> google.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[root@Simlab-node3 staff]#

what is in your /etc/resolv.conf

did you insert your DNS server IP iver there

#vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver Primary DNS_IP
nameserver secondary DNS_Ip

my DNS server ip is 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2 i am sure.

my file like this......

[root@localhost staff]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search Internetserver.mitit.edu
nameserver 10.1.1.1
nameserver 10.1.1.2
[root@localhost staff]#

so i think somethink should be change to dig ... pls.

The problem is not with dig, it is with dns. It looks like its not forwarding dns queries.

in your /etc/bind/named.conf.options (I'm using debian for examples here, I have not used many rpm distros) look for:

Code:

forwarders {
       0.0.0.0;
};

If it is comented out, un comment it, then change the 0.0.0.0; to one of your ISP's dns. You may have to look around a bit to find the above, it may be in a different file.

Mine looks like this:

Code:

forward first;
forwarders {
209.181.0.1;
205.171.3.65;
};

Restart bind-- try your dig again. Should at least get you that far.

Have fun
