I took down beak's name server, because all the domains it was, supposedly, master for have already been moved to tux. The email problem you described was not due to bind being down on beak, but due to beak's /etc/resolv.conf still pointing at "127.0.0.1". I fixed that, and resolving now works on beak (which, as I told you over the phone, is scheduled to be taken down completely sometime next week). A similar deal applies for eskimo. There is one domain, haifux.org, where I couldn't reach Eli, who is registered as the contact person for the domain. This domain still has old settings for the DNS servers. As two name servers remained the same, I preferred to take the eskimo server off line anyways, to avoid incorrect answers being given. > and there were probably other problems. > > I started it again by using "/etc/init.d/bind9 start". > At the moment, bind on beak is down, and bind on eskimo is up in slave mode, only for haifux.org.
