DNS Issue any help would be great.

I have 2 domains one called abc.local the other xyz.local.

From abc.local i can ping xyz.local by name like ping abc.local, but when i try to ping from xyz.local to abc.local it wont ping it times out but i can ping by ip address.

I beleive this is given me problems setting up my trust between the two domains.

I am new to DNS so any help would be great to get this working.

Example:

Trust between domains is established so that principals in a Subject from one WebLogic Server domain are accepted as principals in another domain. When this feature is enabled, identity is passed between WebLogic Server domains over an RMI connection without requiring authentication in the second domain. When inter-domain trust is enabled, transactions can commit across domains. A trust relationship is established when the Domain Credential for one domain matches the Domain Credential for another domain.

By default, the Domain Credential is randomly generated and therefor, no two domains will have the same Domain Credential. If you want two WebLogic Server domains to interoperate, you need to replace the generated credential with a credential you select, and set the same credential in each of the domains.

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane, click the name of the domain.
3. Select Security > General. Scroll down and click Advanced.
4. If present, deselect Enable Generated Credential.
5. Enter a password for the domain in the Credential text field. Choose the password carefully. BEA Systems recommends using a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. If you want a WebLogic Server 6.x Compatibility security domain to interoperate with a WebLogic Server 9.x domain, change the value of Credential in the WebLogic Server 9.x domain to the password of the system user in the WebLogic Server 6.x Compatibility security domain.
6. Click Save.
7. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
Not all changes take effect immediately?some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

After you finish

Perfom the same procedure in each domain for which you want to enable trust.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

Did you tell the DNS server for each domain, where to find each other?

It sounds like you simply need an A record added in the DNS server of xyz.local domain pointing to the DC server of the domain abc.local.

The way I see it if your IP routes are working so you can ping each other via IP. Then all you need to do is let the domain you can't ping by name know about the other domain via DNS. Hence the need for an A record addition to the domain that can't ping by name.

I should have read your post before I posted....

Happens all the time, we were probably posting at the same time :)

You need to check your "A records". A records, take a name and forward them to the correct IP... if your A records are wrong, it wouldn't respond to a name but it would respond to an IP.
