I'm taking a course on server administration at school and I have managed to set up virtual hosting in apache and a dns server on a virtual machine. However, I have now set up an old pc to run CentOS and I'm trying the same on that box.



The problem I ran into now is that I can't resolve hostnames from the linux box. I have set up the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf to the IP of the CentOS machine, but when I try for example



ping google.com I get ping: unknown host google.com



However, when I do ping 66.102.13.105 (which is the Google IP, figured that out by pinging on my mac) I get:



PING 66.102.13.105 (66.102.13.105) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 66.102.13.105: icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=15.5 ms


Slightly confused why this is happening. Could it be because of my router sitting in between the linux machine and the cable modem? It's a D-Link somethingsomething.



Thanks in advance

  • You need to make sure you can reach the DNS server. Also, the DNS server should be configured properly and should be able to query other DNS servers and/or access public DNS servers. You need to provide us with more details about your setup.

  • Can you paste your named.conf file? It sounds like you are trying to setup a caching server.

Well, probably the server that you set in resolv.conf is not accessible or it does not provide you an answer for google.com



dig @IP-of-your-dns-server google.com


and



ping IP-of-your-dns-server


Unlikely your router have anything to do with it.

  • The DNS server is running on the box itself. This is only for testing purposes, because I want to then set my mac's dns server to the test box and be able to use the domainnames I set up there (to fake them). Makes sense? Ping <ip> works, but the dig command doesn't work.
