11.7 Troubleshooting nslookup Problems
11.7.4 Query Refused
Refused queries can cause problems at startup, and they can cause lookup failures during a session. Here’s what it looks like when nslookup exits on startup because of a refused query:
% nslookup
*** Can’t find server name for address 192.249.249.3: Query refused
*** Default servers are not available
%
This one has two possible causes. Either your name server does not support inverse queries (older nslookups only), or zone security is stopping the lookup.
Zone security is not limited to causing nslookup to fail to start up. It can also cause lookups and zone transfers to fail in the middle of a session when you point nslookup to a remote name server. This is what you will see:
% nslookup
Default Server:
Address: 15.255.152.4
> server terminator.mo
Default Server: terminator.mo
Address: 192.249.249.3
> carrie.movie.edu.
Server: terminator.mo
Address: 192.249.249.3
*** terminator.movie.edu can’t find carrie.movie.edu.: Query refused
> ls movie.edu – This attempts a zone transfer [terminator.movie.edu]
*** Can’t list domain movie.edu: Query refused
>
