localhost,DNS,SunOS

2007-12-25 11:49:00

I was unable to resolve localhost (127.0.0.1) on my SunOS 4.1.4 which is a

secondary name server. I had compiled my shared libraries and they seemed

to work fine wile rsolving any other name except localhost.

Now the solution, a name server is always primary for localhost. This is

OK. You should define fake zones inorder to succeed this.

What I have done is :

primary LOCALHOST localhost

primary 0.0.127.IN_ADDR_ARPA named.local

put these lines in my named.boot

then in localhost file :

;fake zonefile for LOCALHOST.

;

@ 604800 IN SOA LOCALHOST. root.virgo.raksnet.com.tr. (

96112505 ; Serial

7200 ; refresh every 2 hours

7200 ; retry every 2 hours

12096000 ; expire in 20 weeks

86400 ) ; minimum

604800 IN NS virgo.raksnet.com.tr.

localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1

These had cured my problem. Thanx to David Pope for his correct answer.
