Hello again. Problem number 1: Dnssec seems to be running on "di.ubi.pt", but dnssec-validation still needs to be set to no; Will this cause troubles? Dns2 is set to auto and runs fine. Problem number 2: How can I avoid the key regeneration (using version 9.16.23) every named restart?

Any help appreciated. dnssec-validation can be set three ways: - "no" (validation is never performed) - "yes" (validation *may* be performed, but only if you have also configured a trust anchor in named.conf) - "auto" (validation will be performed using the standard root zone trust anchor, which is built in to BIND and doesn't need to be configured by hand). The default is "auto". When it's set to that, your server will query the root name servers in order to confirm that the automatically-configured trust anchor is correct. You said it was "trying to" reach the root, which suggests it wasn't succeeding? If so, that would explain why everything that wasn't locally authoritative would return SERVFAIL. Note that this is related to *recursive* queries, that is, queries for zones that are not served by your secondary server. It should have nothing to do with whether your own domain is signed, or whether there's a DS record for it in the parent zone. My guess is, you had the authoritative configuration working fine (otherwise presumably dnssec-analyzer would've complained), but recursive isn't working. Unfortunately, since you haven't provided any configuration info or even the name of the domain you were trying to set up, I can't make any more educated guesses than that. -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
