DNS zone forwarding doesn't work in RHEL5
Issue
- A zone forwarding was configured in /etc/named.conf:
zone "myserver.com" {
type forward;
forwarders { x.x.x.x ; };
forward only;
};
- When nslookup command is used it works.
- But when dig command is used, it fails with a time out:
# dig www.myserver.com
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.5 <<>> www.myserver.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.9
- bind
