The other day I found that my secondary name servers running bind where not dishing out
_msdcs.<domain> SRV records This was causing join issues. It turned out that the Domain controller had 2 different scopes one for _msdcs.<domain> and one for <domain> so I shared the second _msdcs.<domain> scope with all my bind secondary servers. All servers are running Fedora 21 with bind.i686 32:9.9.6-8.P1.fc21 I had zone "<domain>" { type slave; # the ip address of my dc masters {192.168.1.2;}; file "data/db.192.168.1.2.slave"; }; entry in all my secondary name servers. Now I have zone "_msdcs.<domain>" { type slave; # the ip address of my dc masters {192.168.1.2;}; file "data/db.192.168.1.2.slave"; }; zone "<domain>" { type slave; # the ip address of my dc masters {192.168.1.2;}; file "data/db.192.168.1.2.slave"; }; entries on all my secondary name servers. I restarted named on all my secondary name servers and half of my secondary servers are working(explained below) half are not. I am certain that I allowed zone transfers to all of my secondary name servers and that I am pushing changes to my secondary servers. Working being that they dish out the _msdcs entries. examples: nslookup -type=SRV _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domain> 192.168.1.254 Server: 192.168.1.254 Address: 192.168.1.254#53 _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domain> service = 0 100 389 pdc.<domain>. nslookup -type=SRV _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domain> 192.168.2.254 Server: 192.168.2.254 Address: 192.168.2.254#53 ** server can't find _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domain>: SERVFAIL nslookup -type=SRV _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domain> 192.168.3.254 Server: 192.168.3.254 Address: 192.168.3.254#53 _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domain> service = 0 100 389 pdc.<domain>. nslookup -type=SRV _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domain> 192.168.4.254 Server: 192.168.4.254 Address: 192.168.4.254#53 ** server can't find _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domain>: SERVFAIL All servers still dish out records in the old scope. I have more secondaries and there doesn't seem to be rime or reason to why half work and half do not. I made certain that 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.2.254 both had all the same packages and double checked all named config files where Identical. If anyone could give me a clue on what to check next it would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ 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
