I know this looks like all the other "can ping via ip but not dns" questions, but those didnt really help me at all.
Also, having hosts files in all machines is not doable as this server will eventually handle a lot of computers connecting to it.
I have a ldap+dns server set, and I want the computers on my network to authenticate on the ldap server.
The ldap part of it is working just fine and I can ssh into the ldap server with the ldap credentials just fine.
The problem comes with the client machines, the client is set to use the dns server (in this case 192.168.0.243) and if I get in the terminal and do a nslookup it finds the ldap server just fine.
fernando@desktest:~$ nslookup ldap.mynet.local
Server: 192.168.0.243
Address: 192.168.0.243#53
Name: ldap.mynet.local
Address: 192.168.0.243
But when I ping it, it doesn't find the ip address. It just hangs there looking pretty till I CTRL-C it.
Of course pinging by ip address works just fine.
Here are the zone files for the dns server:
fernando@ldap:~$ cat /etc/bind/named.conf.local
zone "mynet.local" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.mynet.local";
};
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
notify no;
file "/etc/bind/db.192";
};
fernando@ldap:~$ cat /etc/bind/db.mynet.local
;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;

I am really at a loss about what to do and any help will be greatly appreciated.
