Tips and Important Tasks
The query is then sent to the listed name servers until the host name is resolved or all
listed name servers have been tried.
For example, the host-name is
machine1, machine1.abc.com is sent to the name
server running on
10.53.0.1. If the host name is not resolved by this name server,
the next section of
resolv.conf is used. That is, machine1.def.com is sent to the
name server running on
10.53.0.2. This process continues till the host name is
resolved or all the sections have been tried.
Tips and Important Tasks
•
If you modify the named.conf file or zone files, the changes do not take effect until
you stop and restart
named or tell named to reread its configuration. (rndc
reload or rndc reconfig. For more information, see the rndc man page.)
•
To use TSIG, both rndc and named need to configure the shared key that they are
using.
•
If you are using IPv6 addresses, start NonStop TCP/IPv6 in DUAL mode and set
the
options statement in the named.conf file to listen-on-v6.
