multiple internal views not working

2009-11-02 Thread Paul Krash

Morning!

I have been struggling with getting two internal views to work on three 
BIND servers running on Ubuntu Linux 8.04.2 x64

( kernel 2.6.24-23-server ) for two straight working days
(OK, I have other projects too. :-)

Scope: present different CNAMES and A records to one subnet 
(10.x.D.0/24) and another for all remaining (10.x.0.0/16)


This will allow my .5 subnet to automount NFS via UDP
without jiggering the network infrastructure (routers and switches).
NFS and NIS servers are homed on multiple networks
(.A.x/24, .B.x/24, .D.x/24)

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated (virtual beer and 
libations are on the way) in finding a working config example.


I have read the ARMs, searched Google and communities, no joy.

I apologize in advance if there is a well known fount of this knowledge,
you know how it is, being a sys/sec/net admin at a dynamically changing 
technology company :-)


Best,

Re: Slave to Win2003 DNS

Our Bind 9.6.1-P1 Windows servers are slaves to a Windows 2003 DNS

For some reason t he slaves don't update the zone unless I restart the

Example, after a couple of days since the last restart, the BIND servers 
stops responding to queries to company.local (SERVFAIL), at the server 
I can see that the cache file is not updated since the service was 
previously started.  I restart BIND service, and immediately the cache 
file is updated, server again responses to queries etc.

I suspect this is not a problem in the BIND, but in the Windows 2003 
DNS, but any ideas anyway, what to look in the server?  Haven't been 
playing with the Windows DNS a lot...

I have seen the three replies to this, and I will add the following:

Is the W2003 DNS Server sending NOTIFY packets to the BIND slaves
when a zone is updated?  One of the problems with the Windows DNS
Server is that it logs only successful zone transfers.  Unsuccessful
zone transfers are not logged because the MS Developers did not want
to fill the EventLog with these entries.  A number of years ago, when
we installed AD and put the AD zones on a MS W2000 DNS Server, we
formally requested that MS log unsuccessful zone transfers along with
some information as to why the transfer was rejected.

Do you have DNS logging enabled on the MS DNS Server?  I suggest that
full logging be enabled, and the dns.log file be made sufficiently
large so that you will be able to see what may be happening.  Note
that the dns.log file increases in size until it reaches its max
size; then it is cleared, and new entries are added.  The dns.log
file is NOT a syslog file, as we in the Unix community are used to
using.

One A record fails on one server on Sunday evening

2009-11-02 Thread Josh Luthman
I have two servers that users query that as as cache servers.

The server having the problem is CentOS 4.4 running bind 9.2.4

The second server configured similarly is CentOS 3.9 also running bind
9.2.4.

There is one A record on Godaddy's DNS servers that fails look ups on the
4.4 server start around 7PM EST Sunday.  I have been able to solve this each
Monday morning by issuing the commands (rndc reload  /etc/init.d/named
restart).

I have not had to do this on the second 3.9 server.

I am looking for any suggestions or ideas to help fix this issue.  Thanks in
advance!

The issue is that the A record no longer gets resolved.

The command dig mail.alexandertelecominc.com @firstserver times out.  Not
sure what else I can provide that would help.

So, you don't cache locally, you forward to another daemon that (in the 
best case) answers from *its* cache.


How have you improved performance by changing nothing else and adding a 
network hop?


recursion possibilities of bind is very pity in compare with 
powerdns-recursor, unbound  so on. It allocate a lot of memory and make 
high CPU usage.


Sometimes unable change authoritative and recursive IPs.
The decision is:
Authoritative q: bind answer it
Recursive: pass from bind ACL and proxy all recursive queries to special

It'll be very useful option.

I suppose it is, because earlier today when I checked the serial number 
was updated in the master since the weekend, and the two working slaves 
had the updated serial as well. And when made a change to the zone, they 
updated the zone file in a short time as well.  Also if you check the 
servers right now, they are already at 6278, so looks like the notify 
 zone transfers work ok.


But for still unknown reason the slaves at some point stop responding 
queries to this zone (servfail) and won't recover until service restart. 
Maybe after the zone data is expired (24hrs), if not refreshed/updated 
before that??


These same servers are slaves to a bind master, and have no problems there.

Re: One A record fails on one server on Sunday evening

2009-11-02 Thread Josh Luthman
It has happened the last 4 or 5 Sunday nights.

Currently there are no logs - what categories would you suggest I start
logging?

The server comes back with simply no response.  It just times out.  It
resolves every other record I could think of to ask it.  Also, it may or may
not be relevant but if I ssh in I can ping (and hence resolve) the
mail.alexandertelecominc.com.

So, you don't cache locally, you forward to another daemon that (in

How have you improved performance by changing nothing else and adding 
a network hop?


recursion possibilities of bind is very pity in compare with 
powerdns-recursor, unbound  so on. It allocate a lot of memory and 
make high CPU usage.


Sometimes unable change authoritative and recursive IPs.
So, you want to add an operational mode to BIND because you 
mis-deployed/mis-architected something, and are therefore locked into 
using the same IP for recursive and authoritative nameservice?


If you prefer other recursive resolvers to BIND, then go ahead and use 
them, you should have planned ahead and provisioned separate IPs so that 
you'd have that option.


You might be able to deal with your current predicament by selectively 
NAT'ing or PAT'ing incoming recursive queries, to bypass your BIND 
instance, e.g. using the u32 module of iptables, see, e.g. (for 
inspiration) 
http://www.stupendous.net/archives/2009/01/24/dropping-spurious-nsin-recursive-queries/


But, frankly, anything along those lines would be a kludge.

Re: ISC BIND 9.7.0b1 is now available

2009-11-02 Thread Evan Hunt
 Is it serious? The file managed-keys.bind looks normal.

It's concerning.  How many 5011-maintained zones are you running?  Can I
see your managed-keys.bind file?

I would expect the result of this to be that keys are not properly updated
in managed-keys.bind until the problem with committing to the journal has
gone away.  If it persists for more than one or two events, restart named.
If that doesn't fix it, delete managed-keys.bind.jnl and restart named
again.

I don't know how the journal's serial number would have gotten out of sync
like that.  I'll have to look closer.

Re: multiple internal views not working

2009-11-02 Thread Kevin Darcy
I you control all of the resolvers in this scenario, and the clients 
aren't doing their own caching-and-reordering-of-responses, you might 
consider using sortlists and round-robins instead of views. That would 
get you out of having to maintain the same zones in parallel.


Note that if the clients are recent Wintel they *already* perform 
sortlisting automatically, for addresses on their own subnets. It's 
built into the network stack. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182644/EN-US/

Do you have anything to match here? By default, match-clients and

Well, except then you need to update all of your delegations. That can 
not only be an administrative hassle, but can also get very expensive, 
especially if you have hundreds of them in ccTLDs, where you have to pay 
your in-country agent a fee for every registry change. It's quite a 
racket.



You don't have to change all the domain registrations.  You just have to 
change the A records of the nameserver names.  Hopefully you haven't 
done something silly like use different nameserver names for each domain.
  

Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that many folks have taken
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/notes.html#gluelessness to heart, despite its 
obsolescence, and consider all delegations which *don't* point to names 
in the specific domain which is being delegated, to be glueless and in 
some way inferior to in-bailiwick delegations.


So the practice of delegating to domain-unique nameserver names, is 
rather rampant, and it means many folks would have to update a *lot* of 
records, if they changed the address(es) of their authoritative 
nameserver(s). It's not a trivial change at all.

Hey Mr. Reed!

Would this statement be enough for the second 'internal' view? :

match-clients {
!10.x.5.0/24;

Or, do I have to explicitly define a match for every subnet?

match-clients {

If I were inclined to rearrange views on a whim, then maybe I'd think 
more highly of the value of view portability.


But the typical view-based config I've ever dealt with had one or more 
views matching specific ranges and/or TSIG keys, followed by an 
any-matching view at the end. Such a structure is inherently 
sequential and does not lend itself to rearrangement.


I'm also wary of declaring the same range in multiple match lists (once 
asserted, then negated everywhere else), since that means if the numeric 
value of the range changes, you have multiple places to update, and you 
could miss one.

multiple internal views not working (RESOLVED)

2009-11-02 Thread Paul Krash

All,

thanks so much for your help in understanding match-clients in the view 
statement for zones.


For historical purposes (and future searchers) this statement works:

match clients { !10.x.5.0/24; 10.x.0.0/16; }

doesn't serve .5, but serves everything else.

Thank you Mr. Clegg (where do I send that beer? :-)

Now I can have very complex views (coming soon {tm}) and not have to 
worry about those poor folks looking at this two years from now,
when the network has grow into multiple /16s with all the varied 
security that will be necessary when we have more than a basketful

of subnets. :-)

The three step process for 
LDAP+DHCP+LDAP+SAMBA(CIFS)+BIND+NFS+NIS+Kerberos integration with Active 
Directory 2008 without third party tools/helpers:


When I get this working (if it is even possible) I will post a virtual 
appliance, with a complete HOWTO.  I've gotten most of it to work,
the LDAP is particularly fckd, Kerberos key caching on Centos 5.3 
without certificates is troublesome.  Syncing BIND DNS with Active 
Directory seems to work, machine accounts, not so much.


Anyways, thanks for all your help, it was great!

Best,

PKrash

 Morning!
 
 I have been struggling with getting two internal views to work on three 
 BIND servers running on Ubuntu Linux 8.04.2 x64
 ( kernel 2.6.24-23-server ) for two straight working days
 (OK, I have other projects too. :-)
 
 Scope: present different CNAMES and A records to one subnet 
 (10.x.D.0/24) and another for all remaining (10.x.0.0/16)
 
 This will allow my .5 subnet to automount NFS via UDP
 without jiggering the network infrastructure (routers and switches).
 NFS and NIS servers are homed on multiple networks
 (.A.x/24, .B.x/24, .D.x/24)
 
 Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated (virtual beer and 
 libations are on the way) in finding a working config example.
 
 I have read the ARMs, searched Google and communities, no joy.
 
 I apologize in advance if there is a well known fount of this knowledge,
 you know how it is, being a sys/sec/net admin at a dynamically changing 
 technology company :-)

Make sure you have the views in the appropriate order.  Views are 
checked in the order they appear in the named.conf file, not order of 
specificity.  So you need to have the /24 view before the /16 view.

Re: One A record fails on one server on Sunday evening

 Currently there are no logs - what categories would you suggest I start
 logging?
 
 The server comes back with simply no response.  It just times out.  It
 resolves every other record I could think of to ask it.  Also, it may or may
 not be relevant but if I ssh in I can ping (and hence resolve) the
 mail.alexandertelecominc.com.

When it's failing, make a cache dump.  Check the cache for the NS 
records of the domain, and the A records for the nameservers.
