i am trying to set up an internal DNS server on Cent OS 7 (Scientific Linux 7.3) on a Vbox VM so i can install a puppet server latter on…
the issue i am running into is DNS seems to be able to resolve things like google.com, and looks like it is pulling the answers from the local DNS, but when i try to do an nslookup for the DNS server itself, i keep getting a SERVFAIL message, and it resolves to some crazy ip address that is no where to my internal ip addresses… here is some samples of nslookup and dig i am doing from the DNS server itself (automation.cylonhive.net ip 192.168.0.28)
# nslookup and dig examples from automation.cylonhive.net
[root@automation automation ~]# nslookup www.cnn.com
Server: 192.168.0.28

i have been working on this for 3 days and i am wracking my brain trying to figure this out… its been a hair pulling experience. any help would be appreciated. knowing my luck, its probably something simple that my eyes have glazed over and missed. this is my first time setting up an internal DNS server so i know there can be kind of a learning curve.
thanks all!

Your zone files are not loading due to a problem with file permissions. Check the files and make sure that they are readable by the user that
namedexecutes as. If you aren't sure what user that is, check the process table after you've started it.
