Thanks for the tip Mark. Now all the zone files are cached as text.
Now I have a different problem. After converting alll the zones to master many zones failed to load because of this:
# grep example.com /var/log/syslog 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.613 dns_rdata_fromtext: db.0.210.10.in-addr.arpa:26: near 'android_b2b2b8cdeedf92d3.example.com.': bad name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.629 dns_rdata_fromtext: db.0.255.10.in-addr.arpa:16: near 'lim_iptgw1.example.com.': bad name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.636 dns_rdata_fromtext: db.8.211.10.in-addr.arpa:45: near 'tl-wr641g/642g.example.com.': bad name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.646 dns_rdata_fromtext: db.2.255.10.in-addr.arpa:22: near 'dc3-l2.example.com\032.': bad name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.648 dns_rdata_fromtext: db.16.212.10.in-addr.arpa:28: near 'android__sx.example.com.': bad name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.664 dns_rdata_fromtext: db.254.255.10.in-addr.arpa:44: near 'cs1-6509-ktim2.example.com\032.': bad name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.673 dns_rdata_fromtext: db.204.25.10.in-addr.arpa:21: near 'ictlab_ls.example.com.': bad name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.692 db.example.com:25: -----------pc.example.com: bad owner name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.692 zone example.com/IN: loading from master file db.example.com failed: bad owner name (check-names) 29-Apr-2014 11:21:32.692 zone example.com/IN: not loaded due to errors. Any idea why? Is there a configuration setting to ignore these errors? On 04/29/2014 09:53 AM, Mark Andrews wrote:

Actually the black box is using bind in the backend but the manufacturer does not provide any shell access. Only a crappy GUI. So I do not have access to the text zone files. Just the GUI. In order to clone all the zones from the original DNS to the clone, I setup a bind in slave config and allowed zone transfers for it. This is a sample config: /etc/bind/named.conf.local: ... Output omitted ... zone "16.2.10.in-addr.arpa" { type slave; file "db.16.2.10.in-addr.arpa"; masters { 10.1.12.61; }; }; zone "24.3.10.in-addr.arpa" { type slave; file "db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa"; masters { 10.1.12.61; }; }; ... Output omitted ... After bind restart, the zone transfers an all zones are completed successfully. The resultant files are some sort of binary: # file /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa: data Now to promote the server to master I changed the configuration to: /etc/bind/named.conf.local: ... Output omitted ... zone "16.2.10.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db.16.2.10.in-addr.arpa"; }; zone "24.3.10.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa"; }; ... Output omitted ... But when I restart bind I get a lot of errors like this: named[19773]: dns_master_load: db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:1: syntax error named[19773]: zone 24.3.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file db.24.3 .10.in-addr.arpa failed: syntax error named[19773]: zone 24.3.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: not loaded due to errors. Apparently the systems expects to see a zone file in text format but because it's in binary it fails. I also tested it with: # named-checkzone 24.3.10.in-addr.arpa /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arp ... Output omitted ... dns_master_load: /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:16: syntax error dns_master_load: /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:16: syntax error dns_master_load: /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:16: syntax error dns_master_load: /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:16: syntax error dns_master_load: /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:16: syntax error dns_master_load: /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:16: syntax error dns_master_load: /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:17: syntax error /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa: file does not end with newline zone 24.3.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file /var/cache/bind/db.24.3 .10.in-addr.arpa failed: syntax error zone 24.3.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: not loaded due to errors. I know I must be doing something fundamentally wrong here but I couldn't find a guide how to do this properly. Any ideas? I am using bind version 9.9.5-3-Ubuntu ( the stock binary that comes with Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit) and the compiled parameters are: named[7817]: built with '--prefix=/usr' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--sysconfdir=/etc/bind' '--localstatedir=/var' '--enable-threads' '--enable-largefile' '--with-libtool' '--enable-shared' '--enable-static' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-gssapi=/usr' '--with-gnu-ld' '--with-geoip=/usr' '--with-atf=no' '--enable-ipv6' '--enable-rrl' '--enable-filter-aaaa' 'CFLAGS=-fno-strict-aliasing -DDIG_SIGCHASE -O2' _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
