Post by: saumyadip_bharadwaj on August 19, 2008, 09:54:48 AM

Hello! I have configured master DNS server(test.com) in RHEL5.I also added a host(www) for a website configured on a remote computer.
Now website is being accessed from the DNS server.But the remote machine can't access the webpage(www.test.com).

have you specified the test.com or www.test.com as normally ppl think that www does not matter but to resolve you this you need to bind the alias for the same also so batter first try to resolve test.com and if you are able to access it then you need to bind the alias for your www.test.com in the dns server also.
