Re: Nameserver failure in scripts FC5

I just developed a problem with FC 4 that did not fix when I upgraded
to FC 5. I did not change anything (yeah right) BUT yum was running
daily updates.

It appears that these two problems are related:

I have a script that calls lynx each hour to check the IP address of my
router (Roadrunner dynamic address). It started to fail each hour
claiming it could not find the WWW page. If I run the lynx command by
typing in a shell it works fine. If I execute the same script from the
command line, it fails because it can't resolve the domain name. (If I
hard wire the IP address in the hosts file it will work).

Yum started to complain that it could not find any mirrors. The URLs in
the .repo files are clean and can resolve if manually typed into a
browser. (If I hard wire the IP address in the hosts file it will
work).

Hardwiring is a cheat. I'd like to know what changed.

I think the change from BIND 9.2 to 9.3 has something to do with this
problem. I see a different syntax in the named.conf file to adding "IN"
when specifying a zone.

Any thoughts?

Maybe it would help to post the script
