I think it is safe to say the issue is the iis.se site is broken so far as delegation test goes. Another user reported to me that he had several domains return the same thing at this site. Thanks everyone for the replies. -Original Message- From:

I was the one asking about water.com. I'd started a separate thread hoping not to tromp on the OP of the earlier thread but apparently didn't succeed. I know the reason for the SOA/MX report so never asked about that. I did ask about the delegation messages but at this point as noted earlier

One thing we do is create a single alias zone with generic information in it to have multiple zones all go to the same IP. Typically the main zone we'll put in its own zone file and have named.conf associate that zone with that zone file. For other zones we tell named.conf to point to the

2011-09-21 Thread Drunkard Zhang
Why are you going through all of these gyrations? The forwarding algorithm in BIND has for a long time been based on RTT, so if one forwarder, or a set of forwarders, stops working, the other(s) will be used automatically. In other words, forwarder failover works without any special
