Hi all,

Has anyone seen an issue where upon installing a fresh copy of Jaguar server on an Xserve with an additional PCI Ethernet card reverse DNS will fail.

I install, step through the setup giving fqdn in relevant places then specify static IPs for both NICs but assign the Bult In NIC the IP associated in the A record on our external DNS server.

Still when I reboot and do a dig, the PTR record is fine but the reverse lookup fails with an error

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @10.102.3.5 kt-macserve.xxxxxxxx.xx.xx
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch

I’m not sure what the problem is here.

The odd thing is, if I leave the secondary NIC with the DHCP address the install assigns it, reverse lookups succeed on that dynamic IP.

Any clues?
