Would they be receptive to letting you slave the zone? At least then you’d have the whole EXPIRE time before the names stopped resolving. If they’re concerned about security, then the transfers could be locked down by source IP address, or, if their software supports it, TSIG key. One of the

By “upstream” I assume you’re talking about forwarders. If your forwarders are flakey, have you ever considered simply *not*forwarding*? That would seem to be a better, structural solution to your problem, than holding DNS data beyond its cache-expiration time (a really BAD idea).

Don't turn your DNS and/or network infrastructures into pretzels trying to get this "forwarding" or "(reverse) proxying" to work. Ultimately, I expect you'll end up maintaining the records of interest in both an internal and an external version of the subzone. Then the only question becomes to

Look at your "allow-query". It appears your master isn't letting your slave query it. Query access is a prerequisite for zone-refresh transactions. - Kevin -Original Message- From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org

How do you suppose named knows where to send the NOTIFY messages? It's only "automatic" to the nameservers listed in the NS records of the zone. But you didn't list your slave, did you? I seem to recall there was only 1 NS record, and that's presumably the master...

Guys, REFRESH is set to 1 minute. That's not a long time to wait. Just do a packet capture and see if the slave is issuing zone-refresh queries regularly in the 30-second-to-1-minute range (it's randomized, of course, between REFRESH/2 and full REFRESH). If the slave isn't issuing

Ah, so "recursive-clients" is the quota of queries that require named to recurse to get the answer, right? I was going to respond with the same advice -- slave your internal zones -- but then I somehow convinced myself that "recursive-clients" was merely the quota of concurrent RD=1 queries

Why not? Data obtained from the recursive function will never outrank authoritative data of a master or a slave. See the "Data Ranking" section of RFC 2181. AFAICT, it's been a *very* long time since BIND, or any other DNS implementation, has accidentally got those ranking rules wrong and given

2016-01-29 Thread Darcy Kevin (FCA)
Suffix searching is a client function, there is no explicit support for it in BIND or any nameserver implementation. The only incredibly ugly thing you could do in DNS to support shortname resolution is set up a "fake" root zone containing the names you need to resolve. But, you really don't

RE: Name resolution failure on a caching server -- many '; pending-answer' records in the cache

NXDOMAIN is not a "failure" response. Are you *sure* you're getting NXDOMAIN? If you're using nslookup to test, be aware that it will do suffix searching by default, so if the original query, e.g. www.bbc.co.uk fails, it'll quietly (unless debug-mode is in effect) start appending suffixes.

Well, the apex record of a zone can’t be an alias, and you can’t legally point an MX record to an alias as its target. So I don’t know if you’ll get much success, either way… Can you move off the dynamic stuff to a subzone, e.g. dhcp.example.com? Then the main zone could be static, and that

Addition of an MX record to a dynamically-updated zone can be accomplished multiple ways, but I’d recommend using nsupdate. Responding differently to “internal” versus “external” queries implies views. But, the burning questions that need to be answered are: 1) do you need those DHCP-driven
