I have several Linux DNS servers, two of which have IP aliases on one interface. Recently I upgraded from BIND 4.9.6 to BIND 8.1.1. One of the subtle problems I have noticed is now the machines that have IP aliases don't automatically update a zone when sent a notify by the primary server. Under 4.9.6 they had no problems.
Points of interest: 1. One machine, which has always had aliases, stopped doing updates on receiving notifies as soon as it was upgraded to 8.1.1. 2. Another machine was doing the notifies fine under 8.1.1 UNTIL we added the IP alias, and now it too ignores them. 3. I haven't used any "listen-on" directives in /etc/named.conf, though the default behaviour of using all available ones seems to be working (and noted in the log file). Is this a documented problem with either Linux IP aliases or BIND 8.1.1? I'd be grateful to hear..... 8<--------------------------------------->8 Richard Shepherd ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Phone: 07-838-4764 8<--------------------------------------->8 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
