Subject: Re: [9fans] puzzling dnsdebug behavior
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 13:31:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011026173116.0B2CC1998A@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

Dnsdebug doesn't use the local dns server to resolve anything.
It always starts from what it finds in /lib/ndb/local.
If /lib/ndb/local isn't set up to point to a root server, it
may not be able to find anything.

Dnsquery uses the local dns server to find things.  How that
server is set up decides how things are found.  If you've
started it with the -r option, it may be acting only as a
resolver and forwarding all requests somewhere else.

To figure out what's really happening:
1) what's in /lib/ndb/local
2) what's in /net/ndb
3) how what ndb/dns started
