can any help me to dig -x 192.168.7.222.

thanks

Yes, but you didn't get an answer (see the ANSWER: 0)
According to the SOA record of the above zonefile your dns is dns.com. But in the NS record you use server.dns.com. What is the correct one?

This does not make sense. You check the dns.com zone using the reverse zonefile and you don't get errors. The correct should be:
I suggest you to review named.com and both the zonefiles for forward and reverse zones and post here any questions you may have.

Regards

};

zone "dns.com" IN {
type master;
notify no;
file "dns.com";
allow-query { any; };

};
zone "7.168.192.in-addr-arpa" IN {
type master;
notify no;
file "reverse.com";
allow-query { any; };

};
for the default named.conf i made these two changes for file.

shuttdown and restart both are ok

thanks


help me out

You should increase the serial in the zones files, so that named will read the changes

Thank you very much, now it was working after the changing the SERIAL.


and one more thing in named.conf

zone "7.168.192.in-addr-arpa" IN { (i was actually wrong)

zone "7.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN { (after the change)

now it was able to dig -x 192.168.7.222.

and now my kickstart also working.

but one error i am getting

[root@server mail]# nslookup www.server.dns.com
Server: 192.168.7.222
Address: 192.168.7.222#53

** server can't find www.server.dns.com: NXDOMAIN

[root@server mail]# nslookup www.dns.com
Server: 192.168.7.222
Address: 192.168.7.222#53

** server can't find www.dns.com: NXDOMAIN
thank u very munch

raghu.

According to the zonefile you've posted, there is no www.server.dns.com or www.dns.com, but just server.dns.com, that's why you cannot find them. You have to add them and of course increase the serial and reload the zone.
