how to check if a slave zone is expired

2011-05-04 Thread hugo hugoo
Dear all, Is there a way to check that a slave zone is expired? I use dig in the following way to see that the zone is not responding on my server...but is this due to the fact that the zone is expired or another problem? dnszone002:/etc/bind/zones/slave# dig @localhost omega-pharma.be soa

Method 1: Compare the timestamp on the slave zone file with the system's current date. Compare that difference with the expire timer in the SOA record in the same zone file. If the difference is greater than the expire timer, then the zone is expired. Method 2: Check the logs. Chris Buxton

Hugo, This must be a configuration error on ns2.skynet.be. The other 3 authoritative name servers answer fine, for omega-pharma.be; ns2.skynet.be. returns the list of root name servers, meaning it isn't configured to be slave for that domain. Contact Skynet/Belgacom helpdesk to get this

Hugo, “zones” don’t “expire”, like DNSSEC RRSIG with their “end of validity time stamp”. At worst, a slave name server is unable to verify the SOA record on the master for “expiry” time. At that point, the slave name server still “knows” it is authoritative, but has no data it could answer

Marc, Thanks for the feedback. I have indeed seen in the logs that the zone is expired on ns2 but my question was more general in order not to have to always try to see the logs (info not available if the zone has expired some weeks ago..). So..no way to check that a zone is expired?

Slightly off the subject, and I hereby offer my apologies for hijacking the thread ... I upgraded Slackwares with BIND 9.4 and 9.7 to 9.8.0, using a slightly-modified version of the official build script, which is located here (and at other mirror sites):
