Howdy,

I found this report from Mark Edwards after searching for a fix/cause via
The freebsd-questions Archive to deal with the same incident taking place
on my FreeBSD box today!

After reading about a fix/patch regarding inconsistency between Bind8 and
Bind9 at - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=61647 posted by
Melvyn Sopacua my first question is - what command will output the version
of bind I currently _am_ running? I think it is at Ver 9 but have been
unable to dig that up. Here is some of the info I have so far, sorry for
the length but figure the content included will probably answer some
questions in advance.

My log file gets so big it just keeps rolling over due to size causing the
/var directory to fill up and report the disk is full or out of space.

__Snip from dmesg.today_
pid 81 (syslogd), uid 0 on /var: file system full
pid 26444 (gzip), uid 0 on /var: file system full


to deal with this I simply emptied the huge messages files with

": > filename" where filename == messages.x.xx in the /var/log dir.

***The roll over just happened again ==

Other than just shutting the box down, can anyone provide a solution to
this PROBLEM?

I googled/searched around and found a couple of attempts to correct this
issue by others which included downloading a new updated named.root file

Re: BIND 8.3 going insane on FreeBSD 4.9

2004-01-30 Thread Mark Edwards
Well, I have any query allowed on my domains, and tcp/udp port 53 is 
open to all from any port.

Is there anything else necessary to allow root queries?

I generally don't have this problem; its only happened twice in 4 
years, so it doesn't seem like a configuration issue on my end.

I host public DNS for 10 domains.  Will setting BIND to forward only 
really make any difference in this case?  Does BIND still have to 
communicate with the root servers when dealing with its own domains?

Does anyone know exactly what's causing this problem?  Is it 
out-of-date root hints, or what?  There seems to be some opinion on the 
net that this is a BIND 8 bug.

Configure your private BIND server to use forwarders only, it wil then 
query itself for its one zones and the forwarder for any other.

Be sure that jou server can recieve query's directly from the rootservers,
it happend at my place when the firewall blocked these rootname server
query's.

I had the same problem logs filling up in minutes...

Configure your private BIND server to use forwarders only, it wil then query
itself for its one zones and the forwarder for any other.
