Re: Postgres v MySQL v Berkely backend for BIND

Are there performance increases/decreases involved with using a db in place of bind's normal zone files? Is there a sqlite3 backend to bind? Regards, Chris. -- http://www.finalcog.com/ 2009/5/4 David Ford da...@blue-labs.org: I use the DLZ/PG backend and it's rock solid.  I use Ant with a

EDNS would be nice if it was working, but the same guy who disabled tcp in the firewall somehow has shot EDNS too. There are so many broken firewalls around nameservers that tcp is a must. It is not an EDNS or bind problem. It is the firewalls in between. Expect the worst but try to give your

Bind Statistics questions

2009-05-05 Thread Nuno Ribeiro
Hi all, I have some doubts and I would like clarify them: - Bind ( version 9.5) provides lots of statistics information and provides two interfaces for users to get access to it (file dump and HTTP access). For what I see and read the counters are cumulative during the time the service is

FORMERR during DNS queries

I'm seeing lots of DNS resolution failures on my router (running Utuntu 8.10, bind 9.3.4). While most succeed, I get quite a few FORMERR errors similar to: May 4 20:25:25 localhost named[19579]: FORMERR resolving ' imap.gmail.com/A/IN': 66.151.140.2#53 May 4 20:25:25 localhost named[19579]:

Hello Nuno, I don't know if you can reset the stats, but in my environment I had the need to check statistics to alert us to attacks and high abnormally high query numbers. In order to do this, I wrote shell scripts that check the current count and writes that value to a file. This is a

Delegation or PEBKAC problems?

2009-05-05 Thread Todd Snyder
Good day, (BIND 9.6.0-P1) Although, to me, delegation seems like a fairly simple configuration, I seem to be having problems. What I am trying to do is very simple - I have a lab, and I want to delegate part of the namespace to someone else in the lab. My configuration looks like this: (zone

Re: Delegation or PEBKAC problems?

2009-05-05 Thread John Hascall
My understanding of delegation is that the resolver goes out to it's configured nameserver. That nameserver returns the NS records for the delegated namespace, then the resolver goes to the delegated server to ask the next question. Am I incorrect in that? It works that way, sometimes.

RE: Delegation or PEBKAC problems?

2009-05-05 Thread Todd Snyder
It works that way, sometimes. If recursion is enabled on your server, it will query the other servers in the NS records on behalf of the resolver and return what it finds. If recursion is off, it will just return the NS records and the resolver is expected to follow them (and some really dumb
