And such names should not be in use.  Only heirachical host names
should be in use now.  Heirachical hostnames contain interior
periods.  RFC 921 actually said what was supposed to happen.
Unfortunately some operators of TLD's failed to pay attention.  Just
because DNS servers didn't block a record being added that didn't
make it correct for them to add it.

bind 9.5 on Solaris dies silently

2009-10-06 Thread Lars Hecking

 Hi all,

 I have made the observation that named sometimes dies silently when I look
 at the stats web page. Pretty much full logging is enabled, except query
 logging, but nothing at all is logged in this situation. How could I
 possibly debug this?

statistics-channels {
inet * port 8080 allow { ACL; };
};

 Solaris 9
 Bind 9.5.2 compiled on Solaris 8 with
   configure --prefix=/usr --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-ipv6
 --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/var/named

If it is silent death at specific time (look at the stats web page) then
why not to truss the daemon? Btw. no core file on the system?

 Thank you (and Andrew) for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the problem
 seems to be intermittent and I cannot reproduce it at will. I've been
 bombarding the stats server with wget for hours no, and named is still
 running. No core files.

 Will keep trying this for a few days.

slave transfer troubleshooting issue

2009-10-06 Thread Frank Pikelner
I have two Debian servers running BIND 9.5.1-p3 (master and slave). I
have taken the configs from a production environment that work, just
changed IP addresses. I am having problems sorting out why the slave
fails to tranfer files from the master. The /var/log/bind/named.log on
the master shows that all relevant zones have been loaded. When I check
the /var/log/bind/named.log file the slave is only loading the defaults:

06-Oct-2009 12:09:45.358 general: info: zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal:
loaded serial 1
06-Oct-2009 12:09:45.358 general: info: zone
127.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal: loaded serial 1
06-Oct-2009 12:09:45.358 general: info: zone
255.in-addr.arpa/IN/internal: loaded serial 1
06-Oct-2009 12:09:45.362 general: info: zone localhost/IN/internal:
loaded serial 2
06-Oct-2009 12:09:45.362 general: info: zone bind/CH/external-chaos:
loaded serial 1
06-Oct-2009 12:09:45.366 general: notice: running


My named.conf file has an include statement for named.conf.local. I've
checked permissions, files and all seems to be okay. I must be missing
something simple. What is the best way to debug why the slave does not
seem to attempt a transfer of the additional zones from the master?


Thank you,

Frank

New BIND user

Hello everyone,

 

I am using a mix of MS DNS and XP workstations with a DNS software (simple
Dns +)

 

I am now looking to move into BIND world under *nix distributions. 

Would you recommend me reading/using a specific reference ?

Book, URL, distribution, tutorial…

 

Thank you, your help is appreciated.

Best place to start in my mind is the O'Reily book DNS and BIND by

It's where I started and the first thing a person had to read before I
started training them back in the day.

Re: recursion on auth-only server

I know that too but this particular server isn't designed to be used as
recursive and I don't want it to be.

 dnscache which is part of djbdns does always query from the root down.
 It never uses forwarders.
 
 I don't know for sure if the Authoritative Answer Only bit is set but I
 guess no.

It's RD (recursion desired) flag and my question is if any nameserver is
known by sending queries with this flag set.

I don't care if they do recursion themselves, but if anyone asks this server
with RD flag set, the answer will be venemous.

otoh, if the administrator of example.xx decides to remove ns3 and ns4,
otherexample.xx won't be able to resolve.

Imho, the sibling glue records are bad, just because of your example. They
should not be put in domain - only example.xx maintainer should be allowed
to put glue records for example.xx into the .xx zone and only when they are
used for .xx zone.

And imho, domains should not be registered on servers that do not have their
glue records in the proper zone, .xx or other. That would spare servers from
many useless lookups.

It seems you did not configure bind to have any slave zones. do you have any

Nameservers should only set the RD flag in the queries they send if

You should realize that anybody trying to debug possible DNS issues
