[GnuDIP] gnudip tinydns
Please remember to reply to the mailing list, not the original sender: http://gnudip2.sourceforge.net/#mailinglist + Hi, i am about to set up gnudip with tinydns. is there anybody who has tried this. i understand that until the release of 2.3.5 there has not been anybody and a google search did not find anything that way my first impression is, that it can't be that dificult... but that is, how it usually goes, right? kind regards Thilo -- GnuDIP Mailing List http://gnudip2.sourceforge.net/#mailinglist

And I would prefer to keep GnuDIP clean and simple. You can of course just turn MX off in the GnuDIP Administrative Settings. Then you can just ignore this in gdiptinydns.pl. How important is MX? I should also point out that if the MX name was looked up at the time the GUI user enters it, then a change to the IP address for the MX name would not get picked up when a reload is done. If it is done, it should be done in the reload process. Since Bersnstein may soon do this in tiny-data, perhaps you should not bother putting it into gdiptinydns.pl. I could add the lookup to gdiptinydns.pl without a lot of work. I could also add a back end option that would allow one to specify a maximum time between reloads, so that a reload would get done at intervals, and pick up MX address changes. Let me know. this would make sense, but i still think patching gnudip is alot better and alot more tinydns like, because it lets you use gnudip + tinydns the way tinydns is meant. people using tinydns will be very aware of the implications mx and ns records have (CNAME also)... i don't know Thilo -- GnuDIP Mailing List http://gnudip2.sourceforge.net/#mailinglist
Re: [GnuDIP] nsupdate djb's dnscache are not friends :-(

I checked and noticed that in fact, I wasn't able to make a successful nsupdate even via command line. I added -d to nsupdate and saw that the error message said something about not getting a SOA record. A host -t soa host.dyndomain.mydomain.com didn't get a SOA record but, as far as I remembered, never did. The SOA belongs to dyndomain.mydomain.com not to host.dyndomain.mydomain.com. After a while I remembered I had changed the order of the nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf in the GnuDIP host. Originally there was a BIND resolver (not the BIND authoritative server) and I had put it below a DJB's dnscache. After digging enough I noticed the following. With the BIND resolver I got the following: # dnsqr any host.dyndomain.mydomain.com 255 host.dyndomain.mydomain.com: 97 bytes, 1+0+1+0 records, response, authoritative, nxdomain query: 255 host.dyndomain.mydomain.com authority: dyndomain.mydomain.com 10 SOA ns1.dyndomain.mydomain.com hostmaster.dyndomain.mydomain.com 2002042214 10800 3600 360 10 And with DJB's dnscache: # dnsqr any host.dyndomain.mydomain.com 255 host.dyndomain.mydomain.com: 41 bytes, 1+0+0+0 records, response, authoritative, nxdomain query: 255 host.dyndomain.mydomain.com Note that BIND includes an authority section for whoever has authority to that domain, whereas dnscache does not. The point is, if you are using nsupdate, you CAN'T resolve via dnscache. why do you conclude that? i can't seem to follow you... -- regards Thilo -- GnuDIP Mailing List http://gnudip2.sourceforge.net/#mailinglist
