Thx for the clarification.

Bind is current.. yes..  I rebuilt the box.. the OS I know and can support..

The zone format specifically the PTR has been severely neglected and to 
me is  legacy .

And you saw the format of the PTR records..
There are several of those in that format ..

The suggestion of the $GENERATE  has been priceless ...

Thx

 This is your problem, you're not defining the right zones. You need to
 leave off the first 0 in the first zone, and I'm not sure how your zone
 file for 16.172.in-addr.arpa is configured, but likely you need to leave
 off at least the first 0 for that one too. The proper zone name for the
 zone file you pasted is 253.150.10.in-addr.arpa. FWIW, I like to name
 the files the same as the name of the zone itself, it makes a lot of
 things easier, but that's up to you.

 Also a minor issue, but the PTR for 30 is defined 3 times, 2 different
 ways. You should fix it to match the forward.

Well  I think that you could make a reasonable case that $GENERATE is  
a macro:
An abstraction whereby a certain textual pattern is replaced  
according to a defined set of rules

and

Re: dnssec signing tools

2010-03-21 Thread Evan Hunt

 I should have been more specific.. What dnssec tools do the folks at ISC
 recommend..   I am scheduled for a 5 day class in Arlington, VA in May 2010

The ones we provide are dnssec-keygen and dnssec-signzone, which are
included with BIND.  Also, named itself--as of BIND 9.7.0, it can sign
your zones automatically and even roll your keys on schedule.  (It can't
generate the keys for you, though; you have to do that by hand.)

ZKT and dnssec-tools seem to be very cool, but I haven't used them
extensively.  ZKT is included with BIND in the contrib directory.

For validation testing, the best tool I know of is drill, which is
included with Unbound.

Is it a problem to get a message from a DNS checking tool that indicates

  Here is more information.

 I'm testing my external BIND 9.6.1 systems with
 http://www.checkdns.net/powercheck.aspx. Outbound resolution is fine.
 Internal resolution is fine. External resolution seems to be the problem. My
 firewall allows port 53 UDP and TCP.

 The messages I get are:

 CheckDNS.NET is verifying if NS are alive

 0 server(s) are alive
 No DNS servers alive, tests stopped

 What other information should I provide to be helpful in getting this
 solved?

 Both
  of my external BIND 9.6.1 servers respond the same way and I'm assuming
  that I need to add something to my configuration.

 We know nothing about your configuration, nothing about the zone that
 you are trying to serve, and nothing about the checking tool that you
 are using to test.

 Not much to go on.  Feel free to post configuration information and we
 might be able to help.

BIND doesn't run on XP

2010-03-21 Thread Pedro Rafael Sánchez Aranda
Hello,


I'm new on BIND, and I tried to install and configure both 9.7.0-P1 and 
9.6.2-P1 versions on a Windows XP SP3. In both cases they were correct 
installations but they produce the same error:
starting BIND 9.x.x-P1 -g
built with default
found 1 CPU, using 1 worker thread
.\socket.c:639: INSIST(err == 0) failed
exiting (due to assertion failure)


I used 'netstat' command to see if 53 and 953 ports are in use but there aren`t.

And I don't know how to solve...

Any suggestion?

Thank you, in advance.

You get this sort of error on Windows 2000.  Windows XP has the relevent
functions.

Are you sure you are running Windows XP? It's looking for the
ConnectEx() function and it's failing. That function first was available
on Windows XP and failure to find that is an indication that you are not
running XP.
