Hi everyone. Let me explain my problem:
I have two OVH servers (server1, server2) with their reverse DNS records (set in the OVH control panel), let's say "server1.myservers.net" and "server2.myservers.net". Both resolve properly from any machine to their corresponding IPs.
Now, from server1 i can resolve server2's hostname (server2.myservers.net), but the opposite doesn't work: doing "nslookup server1.myservers.net" from server2 returns a NXDOMAIN 'cannot find' error. Both servers are using Plesk's BIND DNS service. If I use an external DNS server to perform the lookup, it resolves properly. Also, 'myservers.net' is resolved correctly on both servers. The firewall is turned off on both servers.
Adding the line "222.222.222.222 server2.myservers.net server2" to /etc/hosts in server1 doesn't change anything either. (assuming 222.222.222.222 is server2's IP)
Does anyone know why this happens?
(Please note all the names and IPs are hypothetical and aren't actually real)
Thanks in advance!
