My named.conf.options is as follows

Options {

          directory "/var/cache/bind";


          recursion no;


          allow transfer { none; };


          dnssec-validation auto;


          auth-nxdomain no;


          listen-on { any; };


};


By the way my A records are still not not showing up on mydns.net.


Thanks

The aim is to make it authoritive as well as hosting my web sites.

Dear All

The good news is that I have my server running. The not so good news is 
that there are a few problems which could be interconnected.

My server is called server1.sportshost.co.uk and its ip address is 
84.92.56.54.

Going on to whatsmydns.net I find that sportshost.co.uk returns suitable 
entries under the NS and SOA section. There are nothing but red crosses 
under A records section - I was expecting my ip address.

Then when I dig a domain name like google.co.uk I get suitable replies 
but when I dig an ip address like 8.8.8.8 the request gets the reply 
REFUSED.

Further enquiries show that I dont have an open recursive site when the 
errors above still apply.

When I change my /etc/bind/named.conf.local file from 'recursion no;' to 
'recursion yes;' I get an inverse of the above. I get full replies from 
all my dig enquiries but I get an open recursive warning - which I 
obviously dont want.

whatsmydns.net replies remain the same.

So todays question is - what do I need to do to keep my server closed, 
get proper dig replies and get my A records showing up on whatsmydns.net?

Or is everything working well and its not necessary to have dig 
providing proper replies?

Thanks

Stephen Eyre

Try again, you haven't given things enough time to propagate around
the internet, 24-72 hours is still the usual wait time.

What is the purpose of the server? are you going to be hosting zones
that need to be accessible from other clients on the Internet
(authoritative) or is it just a DNS server that you can utilize to
handle your queries (recursive)? or are you doing both?

If you need recursion then you'll need an ACL to say which clients are
allowed to perform recursion to prevent it from being an open
recursor.

but a authoritive nameserver don't need nor should it do recursion for 
foreign zones, it only should respond for the zones he is authoritative 
for and so the behavior is correctly, make sure it answers for your 
zones and the point your domains to your nameservers (at least TWO) and 
you are done

you need an allow-query and ACL, eg: 

Assuming for example your LAN ip range is 192.168.0.0/24, then you would
use 

for simplicity, at top of named.conf: 

acl "trust" { localhost; 192.168.0.0/24; }; 

then in... 

options { 

.... 

allow-query { trust; };
allow-query-cache { trust; }; 

.... 

}; 

That should do it, if you need further assistance you'll need to supply
a copy of named.conf - in particular the options , ACL's and at least
one of your zones, but if your named.conf isnt 5 miles long, just past
the whole thing.
