5506.0. "show host/nolocal:UCX-E-BIND_NOSERVERS " by KAOT01::WATTERS () Tue May 13 1997 18:29

I've seen this problem multiple times but never bothered for a real 'fix'
cause it was happenning to 'other' people. Now, it's happenning to me. :*)

I've set up a primary name server; no problem works fine.
I've then set up a secondary name server; problem.

Description:
My primary name server is in domain "cth.dec.com".
My secondary name server is in domain "csc.dec.com".

I did all the 'set config bind..." stuff and the ".db" files were copied
over from the primary to the secondary (w/ all the csc.dec.com entries only)

Here's the problem:
UCX> sh host/nolocal
%UCX-W-BIND_NOSERVNAM, Server with address 128.90.90.90 is not responding
%UCX-E-BIND_NOSERVERS, Default servers are not available
%UCX-W-NORECORD, Information not found
-UCX-E-BIND_NOSERVERS, Default servers are not available
UCX>

note:***128.90.90.90 is the address of the secondary name server.


THEN....
UCX> sh host andy		   ! this fictitious name is both of my 
				 ! '.db' files on my secondary server

     BIND database

Server:   128.90.90.90     mike

Host address    Host name

128.90.90.1     ANDY.csc.dec.com




ucx is v4.1-ECO4 on vms6.2 


Also: 
$ mcr ucx$nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 128.90.90.90: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available

So what is it that "I" don't understand. ;*)

    Andy,
    
    I've also seen this several times. If I do understand your setup
    correctly, you are secondary server for the csc.... domain. Did you
    put an NS entry in the db file concerning that domain for your server ?
    
    I think this might be the problem. Perhaps could you post a bit more
    information ..... ucx sho name - ucx sho config bind - ucx sho service
    bind - the database of the csc domain ?
    
    Regards,
    
           Guy

    Thanks for the reply Guy.
    
    Here's some info from the secondary server:

    ;  automatically by the UCX BIND server.  The server will

    ;  version is copied over the network.

    Note: decmcc.cth.dec.com is my primary server

    Notes: 128.45.80.9 is the address of decmcc.cth.dec.com(the primary
    server)
    
    I appreciate any help you can provide; meanwhile I'm trying everything
    under the sun. :*)

    Got the answer:
    
    RFC 1033.
    
    Add this to .db file:
    csc.dec.com.                   IN NS    mike.csc.dec.com.
    mike.csc.dec.com.              IN A     128.90.90.90
    
    
    Works now. Thanks again.
