RE: [cobalt-users] Messages error:named: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS

Hey,

1) Try to restart the DNS service
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

if still have same error I think You must Update your root name server cache
file
as root type
# mv /etc/named/named.root /etc/named/named.old
# dig > /etc/named/named.root

restart
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

and the error message should be gone
