Based on your other comments, it seems as if there is more of a question |
| 10 |
about overall DNS configuration and operation than about the BIND DNS |
| 11 |
server (named) itself. |

It sounds like you might be referring to updating DNS vs updating the |
| 23 |
hosts file. |

I'm assuming that means the server running BIND (named). |

I'm assuming that means that BIND (named) is working and doing what you |
| 38 |
want with regard to the local / internal domain name. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
With these assumptions, it seems to me like BIND (named) is working and |
| 41 |
that it is likely not configured to allow clients to perform recursive |
| 42 |
queries. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Assuming this is the case, you need to change the allow-recursion |
| 45 |
parameter to allow the LAN clients to perform recursive queries. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
This is predicated on the system BIND (named) is running on being able |
| 48 |
to access the internet to query external resources on behalf of the LAN |
| 49 |
clients. |

Please reply if any of my assumptions are wrong or if you have other |
| 54 |
questions. |
