I have a computer on a windows Active Directory network for which reverse dns lookup fails. It doesn't matter which machine runs the lookup. The problem computer is a debian vm on a windows server 2003 host.
>nslookup wiki.dept
Server: primary.internal.domain.org
Address: 192.111.222.44
Name: wiki.dept.internal.domain.org
Address: 192.111.111.185
>nslookup 192.111.111.185
Server: primary.internal.domain.org
Address: 192.111.222.44
*** primary.internal.domain.org can't find 192.111.111.185: Non-existent domain
Contents of /etc/resolv.conf
on the debian guest:
nameserver 192.111.111.244
nameserver 192.111.222.44
search internal.domain.org
What is wrong? how do I get ip-to-name resolution to work for this machine? Thank you.
