            127.0.0.1; 192.168.220.135;
            };
    listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
    directory       "/var/named";
    dump-file       "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
    statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
    memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
    allow-query {
            localhost; 192.168.220.0/24;
            };

    bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";

    managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic";
    also-notify {
            };
    };
    logging {
    channel default_debug {

    Client          IN      A       192.168.220.137    

and the /var/named/inverse.zone

     $TTL 3H
    @       IN SOA  MasterDNS.ayoub.local. root.ayoub.local. (

    137             IN      PTR     Client1.ayoub.local.

and the /etc/resolv.conf

domain ayoub.local
search ayoub.local
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.220.136

when i test the domaine with nslookup

;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server
;; connection timed out; trying next origin
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

and when i set /etc/resolv.conf with that

search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.220.2

i see comme result of nslookup

Server:         192.168.220.2
Address:        192.168.220.2#53

** server can't find ayoub.local: NXDOMAIN

Answer 1

Sometimes error happens due to nameserver 127.0.0.1

So in resolve.conf use following or any other name server you like.

Here is my resolve.conf file

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 1.1.1.1
