The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Setting up new DNS server, web URL resolution works but not host name resolution

Asked by jvossler in Domain Name Service (DNS), Sun Solaris, Unix Networking

Tags: Sun, Bind, 9, new install of DNS server

I am setting up a new DNS server using Solaris 10 u4 and BIND 9.3.4-P1.

I have set up all the appropriate files: named.conf and all the forward and reverse tables.  I can get proper name resolution for the web sites we will be hosting, but I am unable to get name resolution for any of the internal host names.

Our internal network is composed of about a dozen class C network segments;  192.168.X.0/24 with 2<=X<=20  

Our public address space is a small /28 network (14 usable addresses)

We HAVE NOT yet changed the name server definition where the domains are registered.  This will be done once everything is tested and operating correctly.

nslookup commands for various local hosts return the proper DNS server address (our new DNS server) but report a Non-authoritative answer of "Can't find <hostname>"

I need some direction in how to troubleshoot this issue

Any help is appreciated.
