adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Hi there, Thanks so much for placing this contact information in your header! I am trying to add SRV records to my name server, which is a FreeBSD box. (Output from uname -a): ns1# uname -a FreeBSD ns1.partnershiphp.org 4.11-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 21 17:21:22 GMT 2005 r...@perseus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 I don't have a clue where to start and everytime I make a change, I bring our website down. Do you have a link or an example to tell me where I can do this?

Re: adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Hi: FreeBSD 4.11 is juts too old you should Upgrade that machine. Anyway check the named(bind) version to see if it supports srv records.

Re: adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Ola, You have BIND 8.3 as you wrote to me. Check manual if it supports SRV records. If so -- you do not have to upgrade your OS now. FreeBSD 4 is REALLY OLD but I do not think upgrading freebsd is what you want to do now: your issue is to update SRV record, right?

Re: adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Hello, What name server do you use? I am almost sure you have BIND. You must open your zonefile, add SRV record and reload zone. I think your zonefile is somewhere in /etc/namedb/ read bind manual, man named and man ndc (or rndc) to solve your problem. Your question is not about freebsd but about BIND. http://www.bind9.net/manuals On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 11:42 PM, Ola Peters opet...@partnershiphp.orgwrote: Hi there, Thanks so much for placing this contact information in your header!

Re: adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Using the standard version query syntax below.. dig +short @ns1.partnershiphp.org version.bind txt chaos DNS Server v2090 She seems to have a DNS server that I'm both unfamiliar with and unable to find with a search engine. So, as you say, this is a DNS server question not an OS question. Ola, you must find out which software is being used to provide DNS name service from this machine before proceeding. If 'lsof' is not already installed, as root, install it with pkg_add -rv http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-4.11-release/All/lsof-4.73.1.tgz then as root use lsof -i :53 to identify the name service binary and current PID on your machine. With that data, you should be able to ask more specific questions about managing the name service being used. - Mark On 17 Mar 2011, at 21:54, Ilya Kazakevich wrote: Hello, What name server do you use?
