Hey, I'm sure this topic has been done a hundred times, but I'm stuck and
partially ignorant! I've got RedHat 6.0 and diald .995 installed and
running. A local area network using IP masquerading. And I've got diald
functioning where it connects up when it needs to.
I have my name server setup where it will look for local addresses and if
not found it will forward the request to my ISP using a forwarding clause
in named.conf. Diald tries to connect to my ISP every 15 minutes when I
don't send any info that should be sent over the net. (I'm using basically
the standard.filter that is shipped with it). When I look in the logs I
see it's trying to connec via UDP to the name server in my forwarding
clause. I kept a calling log and it either sends very small amounts of
info (400 bytes or less) or nothing at all and then disconnects very
quickly which implied it's probably talking to the remote name server.
I want to track it down further and I've set the debug option 31 (or 32,
whichever the one the docs recommend). Should those packets be written to
the messages file? Or another location? Also, I want to setup tcpdump to
look at it. Any help on the parameters for that would be appreciated. My
best guess so far was it's my nameserver trying to talk to my ISP's name
server but I'm not sure what would kick it off. I tried turininf off
routed and it dfdn't help....
Any help is appreciated. I can provide conf files if needed but this is
long enough!
Thanks
Scott.
