All,

dnscache once worked on two boxes, but I can't get one box to properly
resolve with the other box's dnscache after removing it from the first box.

(Sorry guys - these boxes are on an internal network with no access to the
outside internet.) I installed dnscache on two machines (A.my.office.net -
1.2.3.51, and S.my.office.net - 1.2.3.50) on the same subnet and tinydns on 
one of them (S.my.office.net.)  Both resolved addresses correctly.  However, 
I wish to put axfrdns on S.my.office.net, so I have stopped dnscache on 
S.my.office.net by moving /var/services/dnscache to /var/services/.dnscache 
and restarting svscan.  Now dnscache runs on S.my.office.net and tinydns on 
A.my.office.net, which is what I want:

S.my.office.net# svok /var/dnscache; echo $?
100
S.my.office.net# svok /var/tinydns; echo $?
0
S.my.office.net# 

A.my.office.net# svok /var/dnscache; echo $?
0
A.my.office.net# svok /var/tinydns; echo $?
svok: fatal: unable to chdidr to /var/tinydns: file does not exist
111
A.my.office.net# 

Next, I configured A.my.office.net to accept queries from S.my.office.net:

A.my.office.net# touch /var/dnscache/root/ip/1.2.3.50
A.my.office.net# svc -t /var/service/dnscache
A.my.office.net# 

The I configured S.my.office.net to point to A.my.office.net's dnscache:

S.my.office.net# echo "search my.office.net" > /etc/resolv.conf
S.my.office.net# echo "nameserver 1.2.3.51" >> /etc/resolv.conf
S.my.office.net# svc -t /var/service/tinydns
S.my.office.net# 

Yet S.my.office.net still cannot resolve addresses, even though
A.my.office.net resolves just fine:

A.my.office.net# dnsip A.my.office.net
1.2.3.51
A.my.office.net# dnsip S.my.office.net
1.2.3.50
A.my.office.net# 

S.my.office.net# dnsip A.my.office.net
dnsip: fatal: unable to find IP address for A.my.office.net: connection
refused
S.my.office.net# dnsip S.my.office.net
dnsip: fatal: unable to find IP address for S.my.office.net: connection
refused
S.my.office.net# 

What do I have yet to do for addresses to properly resolve on S.my.office.net?

James
