Re: Bind9 logging options
The DNS Servers are authoritive. I have more than 100 users for them, and the number of queries performed per minute is very high due to the nature of our organization. Moreover, I do not have a specific time window in which the timeouts occur, so, it is impossible to run it 24/7! From your answer I conclude that there is no such option, correct? On Mon 17 of May 2010 16:09:46 you wrote: Are the timed out queries recursive or authoritative? I'd suggest tcpdump running on both the BIND servers and the client, so you can match send/receive and show missed packets directly.

Re: Bind9 logging options
No! Log files are indicating any issue! The only indication I have about the problem, is the lack if queries in the log files. No timeouts, no failures. I even tried to query a fake domain. The result was a normal record (with A+). I did not find any error! So, how on earth do I log them?

Moreover, I do not have a specific time window in which the timeouts occur, so, it is impossible to run it 24/7! From your answer I conclude that there is no such option, correct? Well, it depends on the reason for the timeouts. If the packet is getting lost along the way due to network issues, it would never hit the server, and you wouldn't have any logs of it. You could use filters on tcpdump (tcpdump -tt host x.y.z.a port 53)and setup a script on a remote host to send a stream of queries. You don't necessarily have to capture all traffic to troubleshoot the problem. Make sure your servers are time sync'd properly so you can correlate the logs. Otherwise, if the issue is happening after the packet reaches the server, then I'd bump up the debug level and turn on a bunch of logging and make sure ntp is working fine and start watching logs while generating a bunch of traffic from a test box.

RE: How to prevent slaves from contacting master for name resolution?
Are all the slaves authoritative for all the zones? If so, unless you're using forwarding, or some really odd delegation, queries shouldn't be going to the master servers. Todd. -Original Message- From: bind-users-bounces+tsnyder=rim@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+tsnyder=rim@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Keith Christian Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 5:59 PM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: How to prevent slaves from contacting master for name resolution? Our redundant DNS configuration is one master and three slaves, spread across two colo facilities. master and slave1 are in colo_ALPHA. slave2 and slave3 are in colo_BETA. During an extended maintenance window, the master DNS was offline. Slave2 was trying to contact the master, and lookups failed. Usually, slave2 resolves without contacting the master, but occasionally it does. The IP for the master does not appear in slave2's /etc/resolv.conf, and I'm not sure what else to check for on slave machines. Where else would I look? Would any settings in named.conf account for this behavior? Versions are Linux (CentOS 5) and BIND 9.5.x.

RE: Help for a Windows installation
Alessandro,
Generally people won't want to lay out entire configurations for you. Spend a
little time with the DNS BIND book which will be your loving companion as a
BIND admin (available on google books for free if your google-fu is good), and
come back with direct questions/configuration examples if there is something
you can't figure out and I'm confident people will more readily help out.
Specific things to look for:
-ACLs
- acl
- allow-recusion
- allow-query-cache
- allow-query
-logging statement
-rndc flush
Cheers,
Todd.

I suspect it's a known bug:
2408. [bug] A duplicate TCP dispatch event could be sent, which
could then trigger an assertion failure in
resquery_response(). [RT #18275]
which has been fixed in recent versions of 9.5.
