[BlueOnyx:06383] Re: Disappearing DNS

[Alan Kline]

Hi Chris,

Yes, it's the server we worked on last week, and DNS is enabled. The 
nslookup returns:

[root at www /]# nslookup
 > server xxx.67.248.202
Default server: xxx.67.248.202
Address: xxx.67.248.202#53
 > snugglebunny.us
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Using nslookup in non-interactive mode returns:

[root at www /]# nslookup xxx.67.248.202
Server:         xxx.77.144.250
Address:        xxx.77.144.250#53

Non-authoritative answer:
202.248.67.208.in-addr.arpa     name = vm329.virtbiz.com.

Authoritative answers can be found from: (...etc)

One difference is that the new box is vm329a--could this make a difference?

Under TCP/IP settings, I had changed the host and domain name to 
www.snugglebunny.us from vm329a.virtbiz.com...but again, as of 11:00 
last night, everything was working fine. I went to bed last night, and 
this morning, everything had stopped...

One other question: In the TCP/IP section, the primary interface is 
shown as xxx.67.248.206, when the server gateway is xxx.67.248.201. Does 
this make a difference?
