Re: [Assp-test] FW: Name server errors - bug?

2011-04-17 Thread Michelle Dupuis
DNS is running fine and host is setup fine.  So I hard coded the IP's into ASSP 
and now it seems happy.

This is 64 bit activeperl.  Many of the packages I needed were available 
through PPM so I grabbed source from CPAN and compile them in.  Not a perl 
expert, so maybe that's an issue...

 Although my system's DNS entries are right, the assp log fills with these

Force ASSP to use specified DNS servers and enter the correct IPs for
them; before doing so, fire up a command line and check that the DNS
servers you'll enter are answering to queries

As for your setup; are you running on 32 bits perl or on 64 bits one ?

In the latter case, notice that some modules weren't tested (or may even
be unavailable) so, it's general advise to use 32 bits perl to run ASSP
even on 64 bits operating systems... at least till further notice

Re: [Assp-test] FW: Name server errors - bug?

2011-04-16 Thread Peter W Bowey

Hi Fritz,

Thanks, earlier today, it was proven through the use of a test script that 
the problem originates from the Windows use of CPAN's Net::DNS::Resolver.
The setup of ASSP's 'DNSServers' was checked.
It is likely a bug with the Windows use of Net::DNS

Quote: On Windows systems, an attempt is made to determine the system 
defaults
using the registry. This is still a work in progress; systems with many
dynamically configured network interfaces may confuse Net::DNS.

If you are using BIND (Named) you should have something like this:

--
view internal {
match-clients { lan_hosts; }; # match hosts in acl lan_hosts
recursion yes;  # allow local recursive queries
notify no; # disable AA notifies

// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone . {
type hint;
file /etc/db.cache;
};
---
And the db.cache file stores the root servers list:

---
;   This file holds the information on root name servers needed to
;   initialize cache of Internet domain name servers
;   (e.g. reference this file in the cache  .  file
;   configuration file of BIND domain name servers).
;

 Yes I run my own DNS servers too.  I left something in the DNSServers 
 field so I will erase those.

 Although I'm not a perl programmer I ran this snippet (and got Query

  use Net::DNS;

  my $query = $res-query(example.com, NS);

 Does this mean its a pearl Net::DNS issue?

Re: [Assp-test] FW: Name server errors - bug?

2011-04-15 Thread Peter W Bowey


use Net::DNS;Net::DNS::Resolver - DNS resolver class
Returns a resolver object. If given no arguments, new() returns an object 
configured to your system's defaults. On UNIX systems the defaults are read 
from the following files, in the order indicated:

/etc/resolv.conf
$HOME/.resolv.conf
./.resolv.conf

On Windows systems, an attempt is made to determine the system defaults 
using the registry. This is still a work in progress; systems with many 
dynamically configured network interfaces may confuse Net::DNS.You can 
include a configuration file of your own when creating a resolver object:

 # Use my own configuration file
 my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver-new(config_file = '/my/dns.conf');

This is supported on both UNIX and Windows. Values pulled from a custom 
configuration file override the the system's defaults, but can still be 
overridden by the other arguments to new().- Original Message -

 The system's local DNS values are set correctly (and of course nslookup

I thought of that, but if I uncheck UseLocalDNS then I am chosing to: To use 
system default local DNS Servers and the configured DNSServers (below), 
unselect this option and define the system default local DNS Servers in 
addition below!

doesn't that mean I'm using the system DNS and the name servers I list below?  

I'll try it anyways.  Not sure if a dev is watching...or if I need to file a

 works fine)...

 Could this by a Windows vs Linux thing?  Is ASSP using a function call
 that isn't returning IP addresses in the format expected?

 That is a strange DNS = Name Server p�
 It should reflect your actual system DNS IP(s), so what is this weird
 p�
 ?

 When I get a DNS error related to ASSP it looks like this warning: Name
 Server 210.23.129.34: does not respond or timed out
 or if  DNS is not responding then you do see the no answering 
 DNS-SERVER
 found 

 The ASSP ERROR:  no answering DNS-SERVER found  is what I see
 when
 there is no access to external DNS (root-servers).

I just switched to ver 2 of ASSP...feeling a bit bleeding edge.  I'm
running ASSP 2.0.1(2.0.19) on ActivePerl (win x64).

 Although my system's DNS entries are right, the assp log fills with
 these
 errors.  Any idea how to fix?
