Such a configuration would allow you to query the master server, but not transfer to/from it. That works fine, but I think I figured out the problem, it was due to the server having acquired a 2nd (autodiscovered) IPv6 address, and it was using that as transfer source. It would be very helpful if the logfile said the actual source IP, and not just 0.0.0.0#53 or ::#0. That would help debugging a lot. I'm down to only seeing the error retry limit for master and refresh: failure trying master on IPv6 now, and only occasionally. It also appears the master is sending two notifies for each zone, to each slave, one on IPv4 and one on IPv6? // Tom ___ 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

The refresh errors indicate that the master isn't responding to your slave for some reason. That's what you'll need to investigate. I would suggest auditing the differences between this slave and the others in their named configurations as well as their configured IP interfaces and routing tables. A pair of network packet traces (slave and the non-responding auth server) might also point you in the right direction. Right, but when I perform a dig from the server OS, the transfer and network-communication work fine - so there are no signs as to why named can't connect to the master, but the OS can. I'll do some more digging.

Stalling slave transfers
Hi, I have a problem with one of 3 slave servers, all set up the exact same way, with the exact same bind version and configuration. One slave has a problem transfering zones from the master. The logfiles are flooded with received notify for zone .. refresh in progress, refresh check queued lines and rndc status returns a constant high number of soa queries in progress. After a few hours the zones are transfers, so the connection to the master is working, but there is a major delay. I tried resetting the slave and transfering ALL slave zones again, which worked fine instantly. The problem still appeared again after a few hours though. The master has three network-paths, one on external IP, one on internal IP and one on IPv6. All 3 paths work fine, because the transfers happen after an hour or so. There is no hints in the master's log. The other two slaves are running perfectly, no errors or delays what so ever. Bind version 9.9.2-P2 (recently upgraded to). Any hints would be appreciated, as I feel like I've exhausted most options. Thank you. -- Tom Sommer ___ 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

Have a look at this KB article (you'll need to register to view - but registration is open to all): https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00726/30/Tuning-your-BIND-configuration-effectively-for-zone-transfers-particularly-with-many-frequently-updated-zones.html Also - and this isn't covered in that article (yet) - if you're using views, then use-alt-transfer-source defaults to 'yes'. You might want to set it explicitly to 'no' or to define alt-transfer-source and/or alt-transfer-source-v6. Thank you, great resource. I think I solved it with raising serial-query-limit, it's just odd that it's not required on the other two servers. Another issue has arisen now though, the logfile is filled with lots of named[5596]: zone example.com/IN: refresh: failure trying master 1.2.3.4#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0): operation canceled But if I do a dig example.com @1.2.3.4 it's working just fine. Same server as with the previous issue. Any thoughts?
