Hello All, I am new here but have been watching the list for a while. I run a small WISP and we have just moved to a new carrier. They have provided us with a cdir ipv4 block of /22 and a /23. I am trying to get my reverse DNS working correctly but they will not point their servers to my

Allow-transfer is not the same as forwarding. Are they wanting to secondary from you? If so you need to ensure they can do queries against your master for the zones so they can request soa to check the serial number. Also it appears they are trying to xfer the cidr block with a different name

Hi David, I think first your ISP needs to fix there delegation. If we look at their chain we see dig ns 16.98.in-addr.arpa +short ns2-auth.windstream.net. ns1-auth.windstream.net. ns4-auth.windstream.net. ns3-auth.windstream.net. however the authoritive server has a different set dig ns

So I discovered that if I just do: dig gmail.com I get no answers... but thats most likely because my NS is set to not allow recursion... what I didn't realize is that dig was not forwarding the request to my isp's NS. When force the lookup on my isp's NS ie: dig @206.168.216.6 mx gmail.com, I

Using dig +trace, dig is trying to accomplish the recursion that named would do for you. This tells us your local copy of named is answering requests as that is where you received the list of root servers from. But when dig tries to ask the root name servers how to find gmail.com, dig is

I checked the firewall and I have rules to allow tcp udp on port 53. Is there anything I can do to get more information on why no connection is made to the root servers. I'm a bit confused.. if I have recursion off shouldn't my local named be forwarding the request to the name server in my

If you have recursion turned off, then no it won't forward. It tells your named that if it doesn't already know the answer, tell the client I don't know and won't ask anyone else. But what about the second scenerio below? You check on scenerio 1, but you have not addressed #2. Besides,

I think its fixed... just not sure why... I removed the 'recursion no' line and its much faster now and not timing out... I used to have : recursion no; allow-query { any; }; allow-recursion { 192.168.2.0/24; 127.0.0.1; }; allow-query-cache { 192.168.2.0/24;
