resolve.conf

Is it normal that we can't put 127.0.0.1 into the resolve.conf? when testing like host hotmail.com, it doesn't work. Only host your domain is good. I've put the opendns.com's DNS and it is fine. My main issue was the server not capable to send emails to all servers with a particular DNS entry gave by the internet supplier.

Hi,

If you place that IP there as your name server you will probably have dns resolve issue.

Danijel,

You can use 127.0.0.1 in your resolv.conf file, but only if you're running BIND as a recursive nameserver.

Most authorities consider that to be insecure.

So it's probable that your BIND configuration (see /etc/named.conf) isn't set to allow recursive lookup.
