- I am hoping you can help me with a problem. I realize that this may have
- been discussed a few hundred times, but I really need the help.
-
- Thanks.
- The enviorment:
-
- 1 SUN 4/360 server - NFS NIS
- 1 SUN 3/60 server - NFS
- 4 SUN 1+ NFS/NIS Clients
- 8 SUN IPC NFS/NIS Clients
- 1 SUN 1+ Internet slip DIALUP only gateway - MAIL SERVER
-
- All of the sun's are running SunOs 4.1.1
-
- The problem:
-
- I have run through all of the steps to get DNS running correctly
- for the outside world only. It works correctly on the 4/360
- it works fine on 1 IPC. It works fine on the 1+ to the internet.
- The rest of the machines have various problems with it.
-
- A few of the IPC's can't send outgoing mail when configured for
- DNS all of thir messages are returned by our mail server saying
- undeliverable. When reconfigured without DNS their mail goes out
- fine.
-
- The 1+'s and the rest of the IPC's have a problem with internal
- addresses when configured for DNS - They don't see anyone inside
- the bldg, but can ping the hell out of sun.com.
-
- /etc/resolv.conf has the following line in it.
-
- order nis,local,bind.
- Any help will be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks
