DNS Test - BB-Hosts
list Michael S. Fisher
Hi All! I am trying to perform DNS record lookups via the bb-hosts dns directive. My directive is as follows: 0.0.0.0 dnsserver.domain.com # dns=a:www.google.com if have also tried 0.0.0.0 dnsserver.domain.com # dns=www.google.com The result does not show the record lookups but only shows that the DNS service is OK (up) Can anybody shed some light as to why this is not performing the nslookups? THANKS!

I have read the man page inside and out. I have setup the dns test on our
dns server with the directive dns=a:www.google.com
This should resolve the A record for www.google.com
I am only getting the DNS test is OK and not the nslookup. Is there
something else im missing. All i should have to do is specify the dns=a:
right?

That's all you need. I added "dns=a:www.google.com" after my name server's # test part and it works OK, no other change needed. -Alan Service dns on zeus is OK (up) id: 51386 flags: qr rd ra opcode: QUERY rcode: NOERROR Questions: www.google.com .
