CNAME to an external domain
Hello, We have a bind server (v9.6) that's hosts mydomain.com. I'm trying to create a CNAME for host.mydomain.com to point to host.otherdomain.com. I don't host otherdomain.com. My entry currently reads: sipIN CNAME sip.otherdomain.com. But my DNS server isn't resolving it. It just returns a list of root nameservers. I've searched this mailing list and found threads that said this should work. But also saw a post that said this isn't allowed ( http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Linux_Networking/Q_27656615.html) Thanks Ian ___ 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

Your server apparently does not provide recursive DNS service, which is usually good. Servers people query directly should do that. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.

Are you *just* getting a list of root nameservers (i.e. a totally *empty* Answer Section)? What RCODE is being returned? Or, are you perhaps getting the CNAME in the Answer Section? If you're getting the CNAME, then that's all another nameserver needs in order to resolve the name. Or, were you expecting that your authoritative nameserver would be performing recursion for clients? I've searched this mailing list and found threads that said this should work. But also saw a post that said this isn't allowed (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Linux_Networking/Q_27656615.html) I couldn't see the incorrect answer, to mock it, since it's behind a paywall. - Kevin ___ 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
