Hi folks,,

I am getting followin errors when I am trying to resolve the hostnames using their names..

[root@station1 ~]# host station1.sarkar.com
Host station1.sarkar.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
[root@station1 ~]# host redhat.sarkar.com
Host redhat.sarkar.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

But when I type the IP address of the above hosts, it's working..

like
[root@station1 ~]# host 172.168.24.2 (IP address of station1.sarkar.com

************************************************** *****

Error number 2

[root@station1 ~]# nslookup station1.sarkar.com
Server: 172.168.24.2
Address: 172.168.24.2#53** server can't find station1.sarkar.com: NXDOMAIN

[root@station1 ~]# nslookup 172.168.24.2
Server: 172.168.24.2
Address: 172.168.24.2#532.24.168.172.in-addr.arpa name = station1.sarkar.com.
[root@station1 ~]# nslookup redhat.sarkar.com
Server: 172.168.24.2
Address: 172.168.24.2#53** server can't find redhat.sarkar.com: NXDOMAIN

[root@station1 ~]# nslookup 172.168.24.24

Address: 172.168.24.2#5324.24.168.172.in-addr.arpa name = redhat.sarkar.com.

Which file is having problem

/etc/hosts or forward lookup zone file /var/named/localdomain.zone

named-checkzone sarkar.com /var/named/localdomain.zone is not giving no errors..

Please let me know if you need any more information..

Do you have correct nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf file?
