Hi,

A few quick questions

I assume:
-  you checked the doc 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Cluster_Name_Resolution
 
 

-  you have 3 xCAT network definitions 

- the domain and nameservers values are set in the network defs.

- the xCAT site definition has the "forwarders" value set to the list of 
all DNS name servers you are using.

- the host name on the external net is contained in the /etc/hosts file

Are the nodes on the external network defined as xCAT nodes?  Did the 
named.conf entry look correct?   Were all the forwarders listed at the 
beginning of the file?

In the meantime:

There are a couple of ways to prevent makedns from adding the external 
zone. 

One would be to use "makedns <noderange>" .  This would just process the 
xCAT nodes you provide instead of using all the nodes in /etc/hosts.

The second way would be to remove the xCAT network definition for the 
external network.   The makedns code should skip hostname/IP if there is 
no correspnding xCAT  network definition that this ip would belong to.

Hi,

I have updated xCAT from 2.7 to 2.8 to use the new support for multiple 
domains. We are using two cluster-internal domains and one external 
domain. When I run "makedns -n" now, xCAT also creates a zone for hosts 
of this external domain which then results in resolution failures 
(forwarders are set correctly). When I comment out this zone in 
/etc/named.conf, everything works as expected. How can I configure xCAT 
to omit creating this zone entry?
