Or, if you need any workaround that *may* work, you may want to rebuild named with disabling atomic operations. ./configure --disable-atomic [...other options] I'm not sure if this stops the problem, but I believe it's worth trying. --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.

Re: [BUG] bind crash in statschannel.c

The only realistic cause is memory allocation failure within libxml, but if this happened named should have complained about memory shortage in other places, too.

Re: Resolving an internal IP address for a domain from an external DNS server?
Ok I will try to explain with a diagram as I'm pretty certain that still no one gets what I'm on about: +-+ +-+ |Remote Network| | local Network| |DNS server | | radio server | |local subnets: | | local subnets: | |192.168.0.0/22| | 192.168.1.0/24 | |public IP: | | public IP:| |81.178.2.118 |--+--+--| 212.156.209.87 | || | Internet | | | +--+ || +-+ +--+ DNS server A record: ns1.optiplex-networks.com Radio server A record: rd1.optipelx-networks.com DNS server IP address 192.168.1.100 Radio server IP address 192.168.1.100 DNS server connected to internet via NAT on main gateway I have a laptop in my local network, of which the radio server is also on that network. Basically I would like to know if it is possible to use the DNS server in the remote network to be authoritative for the radio server in the local network! So that if I point my laptops /etc/resolv.conf file to 81.178.2.118 and do an nslookup for rd1.optiplex-networks.com it will give me a result of 192.168.1.100 As mentioned I have already tried this and failed dramatically as I get an error of the server not being found. All other queries work however! Is this even possible or do I need a local DNS server which is authoritative for both domains in the local network?? Currently as shown before I have 1 master zone on the remote DNS server with A records all pointing to the remote network but the local A records pointing to the local network. Also I have a separate view for the local network as well to be able to lookup hinted root servers as well as authoritative domains in the zone file. Apologies if I'm mixing things up however I am not that advanced with Bind and up till now only used it for simple things!

Re: Resolving an internal IP address for a domain from an external DNS server?
Ok I think I've figured this out as I did a little test to change the IP within the remote authoritative DNS server to 172.16.1.100. of course there is no machine at that IP address within my networks but there was some address confusion as the DNS server had the same IP address as the radio server!!! Which is probably main reason for nothing resolving! Badly or poorly designed network infrastructure on my behalf (at least this wasn't a fully professional production environment otherwise I would loose my job and be frowned at by the whole industry). Time to change the local subnet for me! Again apologies for poor description and messing up so poorly - just hope that I haven't disgraced CCNA graduates too badly :-P Thanks for all the attempted help!!!
