I am connected to a server which provides internet connectivity.
I have installed rhel 5 on my machine. I have installed bind rpms on my machine,
I have not configured it. my /etc/resolv.conf is empty. No zone is defined in /var/named/chroot/var/named.conmf.
Then also, when I start named service, my machine can resolve any outside ip address or name.
eg. hjost yahoo.com gives yahoo's ip and vice versa. Why this is happening ?
I am able to access any internet site without setting proxy port in my browser. when named is stopped, this does not happen.
pls. guide me.
