Thread-topic: [nv-l] Reverse lookups from multiple DNS
You are correct, I missed understood the question. If the first server
doesn't annswer then it goes to the second. But if it does get an anwer
it stops.

If I understood the question right, this won't work. When you get an
answer from the first server, it stops querying, even if the answer is
"non-existent domain". He won't use the second server unless he doesn't
get any answer from the first (for example if it's down).

You could try setting up forwarding from the Windows server to the Unix
server, but that still may not work if both servers are authoritative
for the same domain and have different data. If at all possible you
should get all DNS servers to give the same answers.

edit the /etc/resolv.conf and enter both nameservers, it should try the
first entry first and then the second
nameserver      127.0.0.1
nameserver      10.xx.x.xx
domain  tlc.state.tx.us
domain  net.local
in this example,my netview is also setup be a nameserver but then i
entered the primary dns..should work  the same.

Hi,


Has anyone had any experiences with reverse lookups from multiple DNS's?
In our environment we have a unix DNS server and a windows DNS server
with different entries in each.  Right now, our Netview is resolving
from the IPs from the unix DNS server.  Anyone know how I can get
Netview to do reverse lookups on the windows DNS server as well?


Thanks
