resolv.conf

those are BURST's default nameserver set.

Take 'em out and put in the machines that you want your box to resolve domain names from. If it's going to be a nameserver itself (a primary), then you'll want &127.0.0.1& leading off. (with some backup servers too)

Then lock the file with
chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

So it can't get overwritten by anything CPanel-ish, in the future.

good luck!

 

All we have in /etc/resolv.conf is:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

You have to put at least one external Name Server in resolv.conf (in addition to 127.0.0.1 localhost)

Read this scenario:

With just that line in the resolv.conf
If your bind get down or is not functioning properly or during auto updating bind in Cpanel, Your server connection to the world would not be possible (unable to resolve)

/etc/resolv.conf:

domain domain.com
search domain.com
nameserver IP1
nameserver IP2
nameserver IP3

 

Sorry to bring this old thread back, but I would appreciate if someone could please explain a bit more about the entries.

Eg, what do the &domain& and &search& entries actually do?

If I have the primary and secondary nameservers on the same server, should I have the IPs for those in the resolv.conf ? or just 127.0.0.1 ?

Thanks
