Re: Forward zone giving SERVFAIL

I vaguely recall running into similar a few weeks back when rolling out a new mail server, it turned out that the server was configured as a root server (with a copy of the root zone) and this broke forwards to a local rdnsbld on :54. Since no one could remember why our mail servers had root zones and it didn't seem to make any practical difference, we switched over to using hints and suddenly forwards started working too. Or so my memory recalls, there were so many minor disasters during testing on that roll-out that I might have some details off in my brain, but if this doesn't help, I'll ask around and see. -- Dave Warren http://www.hireahit.com/ http://ca.linkedin.com/in/davejwarren ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
Re: Forward zone giving SERVFAIL
IIRC forward means ask the forwarder to do a recursive lookup. If the
server you forward to does not do recursion, there is a problem here.
I think the advice is to look at stub zones, they might be useful here.

Bind complained about the pre-defined zones not being in a view when
I added my views so I removed them.
I added the following to my /var/named/named.zones file:
zone . in{
type hint;
file named.ca;
};
include /etc/named.rfc1912.zones;
I restarted named and I am still getting the SERVFAIL error.
It looks like having those zones is not making a difference.
Thanks,
Neil
