Hi,

re:

> DNS setup, the machine needs to move from office to the computer center.

This seems odd to me, but I can't say if other TAMU machines that have
been moved to new subnets and have had full DNS setup for them are located
in their owner's departments or in the computer center.

re:

> reverse DNS.

I just tried the forward and reverse lookup again, and the situation
has not changed:

% nslookup geo.gcoos.org                                            
Server:         128.117.177.1
Address:        128.117.177.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   geo.gcoos.org
Address: 67.207.88.241

% nslookup 67.207.88.241
Server:         128.117.177.1
Address:        128.117.177.1#53

** server can't find 241.88.207.67.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN

re:
> To work on this, should I need to set up a DNS server for it?

My experience is that it is typically the organization that
sets up DNS for machines, not individuals.  I will check with
my system administrator to see what he has to say.  I'll follow
up on this reply once I get his comments.


Cheers,

Tom
