  1. Try to isolate the issue :

    Server side

    All your config files are correct ?

    • Run named-checkconf

    Do you see some errors in the logs ?

    • Run journalctl -u named

    Could you resolve on the DNS server (not the client) ?

    • Run dig @127.0.0.1 YOUR-LOCAL-ADDRESS or nslookup YOUR-LOCAL-ADDRESS 127.0.0.1
    • Run dig @127.0.0.1 google.com or nslookup google.com 127.0.0.1

    Client side

    The DNS address is correct in your network settinfgs ? If you try to resolve google.com ?

    • Run with default DNS nslookup google.com
    • Force your DNS server nslookup google.com 192.168.95.1
    • 1

  2. My primary NIC PORT was also enabled in Server-side which was creating conflict.

    After disabling both side ports I got my nslookup command working

    Thank you for your help.
