Here are my server queries you spoke of. I am doing this from machine in
the yy.xx.com domain.
Default Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
> server 192.168.1.6
Default Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
> set type=A
> skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
Name: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
> set type=SOA
> hh.hrm.lan
Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
hh.hrm.lan
primary name server = skynet.hh.hrm.lan
responsible mail addr = hostmaster
serial = 5335
refresh = 900 (15 mins)
retry = 600 (10 mins)
expire = 86400 (1 day)
default TTL = 3600 (1 hour)
skynet.hh.hrm.lan internet address = 192.168.1.6
> set type NS
Unrecognized command: set type NS
> set type=NS
> hh.hrm.lan
Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
hh.hrm.lan nameserver = skynet.hh.hrm.lan
skynet.hh.hrm.lan internet address = 192.168.1.6
Below is the same query to the xx.com domain from a machine in the
yy.xx.com:
Default Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
> set type=A
> nt_server.hrm.lan
Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
Name: nt_server.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.2.1
> set type=SOA
> hrm.lan
Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
hrm.lan
primary name server = skynet.hh.hrm.lan
responsible mail addr = hostmaster
serial = 1208
refresh = 900 (15 mins)
retry = 600 (10 mins)
expire = 86400 (1 day)
default TTL = 3600 (1 hour)
skynet.hh.hrm.lan internet address = 192.168.1.6
> set type=NS
> hrm.lan
Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
hrm.lan nameserver = skynet.hh.hrm.lan
hrm.lan nameserver = nt_server.hrm.lan
skynet.hh.hrm.lan internet address = 192.168.1.6
nt_server.hrm.lan internet address = 192.168.2.1
>
Skynet is my Primary DNS server in hh.hrm.lan. NT_Server is my primary in
hrm.lan.
This is a query done from the same machine in domain hh.hrm.lan to a machine
in hrm.lan.
> laston.hrm.lan
Server: skynet.hh.hrm.lan
Address: 192.168.1.6
*** skynet.hh.hrm.lan can't find laston.hrm.lan: Non-existent domain
>I can't seem to get any machine to see this computer and a few others from
the hh.hrm.lan domain. I can ping that netbios name and I do get replies,
but if I ping laston.hrm.lan I get "Ping request could not find host
laston.hrm.lan. Please check the name and try again."
Should I start all over with my DNS? Blast it all and redo it. Seems like
something is wrong. If I do that will I cause more things to go wrong?
