[Mrquiety]

While running lbd on some domains i am getting error "checking for DNS-loadbalancing:/usr/bin/host: line 1: $'\177ELF\001\001\001': Command not found" Http loadbalancing is working fine. what is wrong with DNS ? i am running lbd by this syntax - lbd tragetdomain 1.JPG

hi
i'm not expert ,if this can help :
the error seems related to ELF (Executable and Linkable Format)

try to give a look at your /usr/bin/host file..this is into my kali:
