I have not been able to get DNS to make connections or calls
to my name server. I have tried various rearrangements of
stuff in /lib/ndb/local to no avail. As long as the IP address
is in /lib/ndb/local I have no problem accessing the remote system
with rx, con, mail, etc. /lib/ndb/global is empty, no hash
files are inplace and I am not running any authenication service.
For example:
% sed 20q /lib/ndb/local
#
# systems
#
dom =
ns=pyramid.cs.unr.edu
ns=134.197.40.101
dom=pyramid.cs.unr.edu ip=134.197.40.253
sys = pyramid
dom=pyramid.cs.unr.edu
ip=134.197.40.253
ipmask=255.255.255.0
ipgw=134.197.40.240
sys = eros1
dom=eros.cs.unr.edu
ip=134.197.40.50
ipgw=134.197.40.253
proto=il
sys = washoe
dom=washoe.cs.unr.edu
ip=134.197.40.61 ether=004090801822
......
------------------------------------------------
% ndb/dnsquery
> pyramid ip
pyramid ip 134.197.40.253
> pogonip ip
!dns: not found
>
-----------------------------------------------
The above failure produced the error in the screen:
washoe Fed 19 21:38 can't get udp port
twice. If I put a soa entry after the first dom = in local
the call still fails but the error message does not appear.
>From watching my isdn line it is not sending anything to
the network. But an echo client using udp works fine if
it sends to system with IP address in /lib/ndb/local.
washoe is the name of the plan 9 system.
Can some one send the head of a working local file that
makes dns happy about contacting a remote ns server?

what happens if you use the true (ie, fully qualified) domain name of the machine?
