one of my servers has developed a habit of dying (3rd time in 3 weeks). I'm guessing hardware - memory?? something else?? This box has been running for a couple of years. Symptoms are different each time, and each time there is nothing obvious in the log, but this was a photo of the death

[SLUG] Reading TCP Dump

2011-02-16 Thread Kyle
Hi Slug, I'd be grateful if someone could show me how to interpret this tcp dump pls. It is a sample from an attempt to renew a dhcp lease and update the dns journals. But the dns jounrals are not being updated, apparently due to the error not authorized. I just don't understand why not.

Hi Kyle, just a general question on your setup there... what sort of setup do you have regarding your internet connection? Is it a fairly typical home ADSL2+ modem with an account with an ISP? If so which one? O are you a corporate with a Telstra or Optus router? Or something like that?

Hi Kyle, Do you have a static IP? Have you set your modem up to forward DNS queries to internode DNS primary and secondary? Are you hosting your own domains? If so, is your internal server setup as the primary name server for your own domains or are you using a third party DNS service or

Ok, thanks John. I've tried lots since this thread started to the extent I installed a whole fresh machine on 192 subnet only, skimmed dhcpd and named confs down to a simple, by the book, 1 domain setup and I still get the same problem even on the fresh host. And this is a CentOS 5.5 (final)

Ok, since it is not working how it is now... then perhaps you'll try the following... setup your modem to point to internode DNS servers for DNS queries. Point your internal DNS server to point to the MODEM for upstream DNS queries. Don't set it up as DDNS. Just forwarding DNS to the next

Ben, I'll be happy to try that, but I'd like to understand your thinking please. Can you clarify it for me please? From what I can tell from your process below, it appears you want to send a request to update an internal DNS server with an internal client's records (for viewing by other
