We have been running Sun's Solaris 9 BIND (reported as version 8.3.3) for some years and are retiring the old hardware. However, we came across an apparent syntax issue in moving the RHEL's BIND.

Here's a piece of the old data file:

oldmail            IN      A       192.168.9.2
                IN      MX      100     mail

Note the empty first field of the second line. Solaris BIND has never complained about this. "mail" is published as a CNAME in the outside world, since it is our main mail server.

However, RHEL's BIND barfs on this missing data field. And, the MX record gets lost and not sent upstream if we turn the Solaris BIND off.

What's wrong here? thanks.

We've got similar records set up in our zone files on RH5 and don't have problems.

When I have botched a zone file, the messages from named in /var/log/messages have been very helpful in pinpointing the problem.

There's a utility named-checkzone that you can use to verify your zone file.
