RE: Anycast DNS

2012-02-29 Thread Todd Snyder
The reason I've heard a few times is that users are uncomfortable using only 1 address. In the past I've done 2 or 3 addresses just so that we can give out 3 addresses that all point to the same pool of servers. Silly, I know, but sometimes it's easier to placate than to change someone/groups

More than 4k TXT entries

Hi I would like to know if there is some limitation in Bind regard:    - Max number of TXT entries for a specific domain or    - Max size of a zone file I'm asking this because one of the domains configured in my Bind server have more than 4k TXT entries and its zone file have more than

more than 4k will exceed the default settings for EDNS0 UDP responses. If you dig @ your server, with +tcp, do you get a reply? If not, perhaps you are not allowing TCP connections to port 53? What error you are getting may be of help. --Michael On Feb 29, 2012, at 1:20 PM, Darvin Denmian

RFC 6303 and bind 9.9.0

I reviewed RFC 6303, which recommends configuring a number of zones using an empty zone file as follows: @ 10800 IN SOA @ nobody.invalid. 1 3600 1200 604800 10800 @ 10800 IN NS @ In bind 9.9.0 this results in errors for each zone referring to the empty zone file as follows: Feb 29 19:24:30

Changing the second line ('@ 10800 IN NS @') to '@ 10800 IN NS localhost.' eliminates the errors. The built in empty zone processing is aware of the special case of NS records without address records. The generic zone processing rules treat this as a error condition. Just for

Just for clarification, do I understand correctly that if none of the empty zones described in RFC 6303 are set up explicitly in the bind 9.9.0 configuration file, then bind 9.9.0 will process them as such anyway using built-in generic zone processing rules? Yes. To expand a bit on Mark's
