Dear list! I have a DNS related question.
I have server named bigbox.example.com bigbox hosts LDAP and Kerberos KDC for domain .example.com So there are three 'A' DNS entries that point to the same IP (in that order): A bigbox.example.com 10.0.0.10 A directory.example.com 10.0.0.10 A kerberos.example.com 10.0.0.10 So when I do ldapsearch, it * looks for A record of directory.example.com * get 10.0.0.10 * sends PTR query for 10.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa * gets 'PTR bigbox.example.com PTR directory.example.com PTR kerberos.example.com' * And then asks KDC for ticket for ldap/bigbox.example.com, instead of ldap/directory.example.com So, what is want is that ldapsearch (and friends) should always refer ldap server as directory.example.com and not bigbox.example.com Am I missing something in my DNS configuration or is it just ldapsearch specific behavior? -- Zaar
