stop zone transfers from coming in

[Chris Henderson]

My server works as a secondary for a zone. I asked the master server's
admin to stop the zone transfer; I didn't get any reply and thus
commented out the zone's section in my named.conf. But I'm still
getting zone files coming in to my server.

Here is what I have commented out:

#  zone example.com {
#   type slave;
#   file extra/example.com;
#masters {
#   xxx.xxx.xx.xx;
#   };
#  };

I commented out for some other zones as well and they have stopped
coming but not this one.
How do I stop this?

Thanks.

More than four name server for whois record

[Chris Henderson]

I cannot put more than four name servers in the domain management web
interface (whois record). But in my zone file I already have more than
four NS listed. Is there any way I can publish more than four domains
in my whois record?

 You want to manipulate the . zone. The config you have should be valid,
 just point your . zone in named.conf to the zone file.

Thanks. This resolved the issue. This is what I did:

edit named.conf and replace:

zone . in {
type hint;
file root.hint;
};

with:

zone . in {
  type master;
  file nms.org;
};

One problem I had was when users type any HTTPS URL it would time out.
To resolve that issue I've just setup HTTPS on this server and now
everything works fine.

setup default DNS server with only one record

[Chris Henderson]

I am trying to setup a default DNS server for one of my restricted
network segment so that no matter what people type in their browser,
they will be redirected to a single IP address or the hostname. The
zone file that I have setup is partially working - it resolves
anything.mydomain.com to a single IP address but doesn't resolve
anything.some-other-domain.com (eg. www.cnn.com) - it just gives up.
Here is my zone file. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

$TTL 1W
@   IN SOA  nms.mydomain.com.   hostmaster.mydomain.com. (
42  ; serial
2D  ; refresh
4H  ; retry
6W  ; expiry
1W ); minimum

@   ns  nms.mydomain.com.
*   A   192.168.25.25

DNS Master server migration.

[Chris Henderson]

I'm migrating away from my 12 year old Solaris master DNS server to a
new Linux based master server. I'm looking for suggestions on how to
make the transition smooth without any downtime. The IP address of the
new server will be different and so will be the hostname that will
show up in the whois record. Is there any way to run two master at the
same time and when I know the new master is working, I can turn off
the old one? Would that be a good idea? I am open to any suggestions.

Thanks.
