Sounds like a resolv.conf issue ... make sure that you have an entry in the resolv.conf file that maps ns1.example.de to 1.1.1.1 and ns2.example.de to 1.1.2.2
-----Original Message----- From: bind-users-bounces+imran=netwave...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+imran=netwave...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Dotan Cohen Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 5:09 PM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Unable to query the nameserver I am configuring BIND on two servers: ns1.example.de on a server with IP address 1.1.1.1 and ns2.example.de on a server with IP address 1.1.2.2. BIND starts fine on both servers, but when I try to configure my domain name in the registrar's control panel I get this error: """ Error : Unable to query the nameserver ns1.example.de """ Of course I have been googling this for hours and I've been reading BIND manuals for about two weeks now! I'm really stuck. Here are my configuration files: // On 1.1.1.1 [r...@1.1.1.1]# cat /etc/named.conf options { directory "/etc"; pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid"; listen-on { any; }; }; zone "." { type hint; file "/etc/db.cache"; }; zone "example.de" { type master; file "/var/named/example.de.hosts"; notify yes; allow-query { any; }; }; zone "example.eu" { type master; file "/var/named/example.eu.hosts"; }; [r...@1.1.1.1]# cat /var/named/example.de.hosts $ORIGIN example.de. $TTL 86400 example.de. IN SOA example.de. foo.example.de. ( 2010100401; Serial - increment me 10800 3600 604800 38400 ) IN NS ns1.example.de. IN NS ns2.example.de. IN A 1.1.1.1 www IN A 1.1.1.1 ns1 IN A 1.1.1.1 ns2 IN A 1.1.2.2 // On 1.1.2.2 [r...@1.1.2.2]# cat /etc/named.conf options { directory "/etc"; pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid"; listen-on { any; }; }; zone "." { type hint; file "/etc/db.cache"; }; zone "example.de" { type slave; masters { 1.1.1.1; }; allow-update { 1.1.1.1; }; file "/var/named/example.de.hosts"; notify yes; allow-query { any; }; allow-notify { 1.1.2.2; }; }; [r...@1.1.2.2]# cat /var/named/example.de.hosts $ORIGIN example.de. $TTL 86400 example.de. IN SOA example.de. foo.example.de. ( 2010100401; Serial - increment me 10800 3600 604800 38400 ) IN NS ns2.example.de. ns2 IN A 1.1.2.2 Of course, when I make a change to a hosts file I increment the serial number and restart bind. I also restart bind after making a change to named.conf. What am I doing wrong?
