I'm hoping this will be simple, I ran into this issue before but don't
remember what I did to resolve it.
I'm setting up a DNS in my house, it almost works. Nslookup returns
the correct values but when I try to ssh to a system I have to add a
period to the end of the system name for ssh to work.
here is some of the information from named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
};
zone "43p." IN {
type master;
file "43p_0.db";
};
zone "router." IN {
type master;
file "router_0.db";
};
zone "41t." IN {
type master;
file "41t_0.db";
};
Here is an example of the zone files
$TTL 1H
@ SOA 43p.home.local. root.dell.home.local. ( 2
3H
1H
1W
1H )
NS 43p.home.local.
