I have an internal resolving only DNS server.
dig @dns1.example.com www.google.com<http://www.google.com>
Gives me a valid response.
dig @dns1.example.com dns1.example.com
Fails, since dns1.example.com is not a valid address on the internet.
Is it a requirement for dns1.example.com to be able to resolve it's own name?
I tried this in bb-hosts
0.0.0.0 dns1.example.com # dns=ns:google.com
But Xymon gives me a red page stating that dns1.example.com service is unavailable.
