Yep, it is. I got burnt a few times using stop and start in the past.
That is why I only use 'rndc reload'.

Good point. I also got burnt with this one a few times in the past...
now incrementing is my habit. I guess its use depends on the weather.

This is the only place where I look. As far as I'm concerned, if a
reload was unsuccessful, then you'll get something in there. Otherwise
nothing gets logged.

Not sure about that either. I guess you shouldn't use it then. Anyway,
at least your domain is responding now:
$ host -t a daemonbox.net chadwick.daemonbox.net
Using domain server:
Name: chadwick.daemonbox.net
Address: 66.246.140.170#53
Aliases:
daemonbox.net has address 66.246.140.170
$ host -t a www.daemonbox.net chadwick.daemonbox.net
Using domain server:
Name: chadwick.daemonbox.net
Address: 66.246.140.170#53
Aliases:
www.daemonbox.net has address 66.246.140.170
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=daemonbox.net
www.dnsreport.com is a great tool for all your DNS needs.

I can't stop mine and then start it again (running in chrooted mode). I
do:
# make rndc reload
Isn't named's default behaviour to run chrooted? It appears so whn looking
at the rc script.
Also, when something goes wrong, named won't reload but logs a complaint
into /var/log/messages. So it is a good idea to check logs every time a
change is made.

Make sure your serial increments with every change you make.
I've been ignoring that to save time while troubleshooting as (from my
understanding) it is only used by other name servers so they know to
update their information:
"The serial number identifies this version of the zone configuration. Remote
name servers
first retreive the SOA record and check if the serial number has incremented
before
deciding whether to access the rest of the zone, which could be large. Make
sure you
increment this field every time you edit the file. If you don't, your
updates will not
propagate to other name servers." -The Complete FreeBSD, Greg Lehey

Yea, I feel I may just use the A records as the additional query issue you

I've been checking /var/log/messages but see nothing after recieving that
error. Are all named logs placed here by default?

Can you resolve other domains (e.g.: freebsd.org)? Can't think of
anything else right now.
Yes, as I noted, when I remove the CNAME entry everything works fine. Very
strange...

The following gives you the result you want: @ IN A192.168.1.1 ; whatever your www's IP is So your DNS will respond with the same IP no matter if it's example.org or www.example.org (assuming www has been declared somewhere as well). Hopefully this helps.

Simple DNS Configuration
Hi all,
I feel like I'm losing my mind here. It's been a while since I configured
named and I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Here is my
understanding of what is "needed" to get (a very basic configuration of)
named running with a few A records in place:
# sh make-localhost
append default named.conf with:
=
zone "example.org" {
type master;
file "master/example.org";
};
=
create master/example.org with:
=
$TTL 3600; 1 hour
example.org. IN SOAns.example.org. admin.example.org. (
2006072400 ; Serial
1d; Refresh
2h; Retry
100d ; Expire
1h ) ; Minimum TTL
; Machine Names
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
host1IN A 192.168.1.1
host2IN A 192.168.1.2
host3IN A 192.168.1.3
=
append rc.conf with:
=
named_enable="YES"
=
# reboot
Is there something I'm missing? This is on a fresh 6.1 install (rebuilt with
latest src) and a few random ports installed (editors and such) and no
firewall config.
