Subject: [swinog] name-server slowdown?

Starting Monday this week, we've seen a significant delays and timeouts
on our upstream name-servers.  We saw something similar on our Hetzner
servers, but it seems to have gone away now. Has anyone else
seen/experienced name-server issues in the last 2-3 days?

I know about the BIND patch from last week, could that somehow be
involved?

if the whole network is not reachable and even
a ip resolving of one of the main serveradresses
is not working i don´t have to try any other
tools to know that everything is down :-)

Using tracert as a diagnostic tool for DNS?

Please take a look at one of the following for resolving your most
likely local problems:

  - dig
  - zonecheck (http://www.zonecheck.fr)

Just in case the result of the first is:
 www.server4you.de.  86400   IN  A   217.172.191.67
 server4you.de.  86400   IN  NS  ns2.server4you.de.
 server4you.de.  86400   IN  NS  ns1.server4you.de.
 ;; Received 119 bytes from 217.172.162.246#53(ns1.server4you.de) in 10 ms

Thus at least the hostname works. ICMP's seem to be blocked in that
direction though.

$ telnet www.server4you.de. 80
Trying 217.172.191.67...
Connected to www.server4you.de.

Looks like it is working to me...

Not sure if this is your problem but the bind patch was released mostly
untested. The new mode allocates tons of filedescriptors and fails in
various freaky ways. The result is delayed resolving and various other
failures plus an increased load on the nameserver itself.

Strange that the server you indicated then is working fine.

I thought there was also a recent change in some root nameserver
addressing, so I'd suggest to update the root.hints file.


Which should be updated automatically. The root.hints should only be a 
hint for the DNS server which it uses to bootstrap. The first thing it 
will do is actually dig . NS and use those as the real root servers.

Thanks, that sounds very possible - I'll have to check with the guys
running the upstream servers.
