As does dnscheck.iis.se.
Indeed, none of the test history (5 tests, today and yasterday) 
archived for water.com at this site shows any delegation problem.
Only a warning is shown against the SOA:

Failed to connect to smtpbh1.water.com (12.44.84.193).

I guess that this means that an MX host is protected in some way.

Is there some other "dnscheck" that people are using, and which
is causing confusion?

This line is correct.


when you are defining a new zone, you will need SOA and in most cases 
NS records too (that means, unless you are configuring private zone 
running in your network). Most of other zones include MX records for 
the zone.

This is not working... I did some test, and if dns-cache got a
NXDomain response, it won't go any far. Is it intended? or I missed
something? I'm using 9.7.3-P3. Here's my configuration on dns-cache.

options {

dump-file "file-dumpfile";
statistics-file "file-stat";
max-cache-size 3000M;   # 3 GB
allow-query { any; };

zone "." {
type forward;
forward first;
forwarders {
211.161.192.1;

Put forward section to option clause not working too.

When I query a name, the dns-cache queries forwarders for gTLDs
instead of using local hint file, why? And the dns-cache does not
trust forwarder returned result when set "forward first", is it
possible to fake it?

Re: DNS-cache with custom gTLDs

2011-09-21 Thread Matus UHLAR - fantomas

2011/9/20 Drunkard Zhang :

I got 4 DNSs doing recursive resolution, which splited into 2 groups,
and a couple of dns caches. Each group of recursion DNS using their
own net link, which is different.

Here's problem: I want a dns-cache to use one group of recursion DNS
as their forwarders, and use another group as backup. ( I have to,
because 2 groups of recursion DNS get different results, and sometimes
one of them can't resolves, while another can. ) All solution I can
find out is "forward first" to one group, and use all 2 groups as
gTLDs, is this __safe__?

It IS indented. The NXDOMAIN means that the requested name does not 
exist. It is a correct DNS answer and DNS client should not search any 
further.


If there is a domain name for which some servers return an positive 
answer, and some negative one, then there is something broken with that 
domain.



Another problem: there's a lot of resolution on dns-cache querying
a.root-servers.net, is it safe that i hijack a.root-servers.net to my

I think you should not hijack others' DNS requests. Blocking them would 
be much more correct. Note that there are more root servers than just 
a.root-servers.net - if someone queries this one server, something is 
apparently broken at their side.

I think it is safe to say the issue is the iis.se site is broken so far as 
delegation test goes.   Another user reported to me that he had several domains 
return the same thing at this site.

Matt,

Are you running the "Undelegated domain test" or just the default
"Domain test"? Only the
"Undelegated domain test" is showing the error. It is still reporting it now.
Nameserver dswadns1.water.com is listed for zone water.com without
address information.

Nameserver dswadns2.water.com is listed for zone water.com without
address information.

The SOA issue is sort of real. The preferred MX for the SOA contact is
smtpbh1.water.com
and attempts to connect to port 25 on that system time out, as does an
attempt to smtpbh2.
But smtp.water.com is fine so I don't this this an appropriate report, either.

Again, the gtld servers do have the required glue.

RE: Delegation check failed

2011-09-21 Thread Lightner, Jeff
I was the one asking about water.com.  I'd started a separate thread hoping not 
to tromp on the OP of the earlier thread but apparently didn't succeed.

I know the reason for the SOA/MX report so never asked about that.

I did ask about the delegation messages but at this point as noted earlier I'm 
fairly convinced it is a bug in the way they do the test at iis.se rather than 
an actual issue.   (Believe me - I'd HEAR VERY QUICKLY if water.com became 
inaccessible from the internet.)   I was asking the question to see if there 
was a tweak I needed but based responses I don't think so.

That all depends on how you are trying to use it -- when an application looks 
up the label it is presumably going to so something like connect to it, and the 
server is going to have to know how to respond.

For example, if this is a web-server it will need to have virtual hosts 
configured to is can respond as example.com / example.net / foo.com, etc.

If a mail server, it will need to know what all domains it handles mail for 
(aliases file, etc)

RE: One IP in multiple zones

2011-09-21 Thread Lightner, Jeff
One thing we do is create a single "alias" zone with generic information in it 
to have multiple zones all go to the same IP.

Typically the main zone we'll put in its own zone file and have named.conf 
associate that zone with that zone file.

For other zones we tell named.conf to point to the alias zone file:

Something like:
@   IN SOA  ns1.example.com. techuser.example.com.  (
2011091902  ; serial
10800   ; refresh
3600; retry
604800  ; expire
86400 ) ; Minimun TTL
;
; Name Servers
;
IN NS   ns1.example.com.
IN NS   ns2.example.com.
;
; Mail Servers
;
IN MX   10  mail.example.com.  ; Primary MX BH
IN MX   30  mail.example.com.  ; Primary MX BH
;
; Addresses
;
;
@   IN A192.168.1.1
;
www IN A192.168.1.1
;

Any domain in named.conf pointing to this alias zone will be substituted 
automatically for the "@" seen in this file whenever a lookup occurs.

So if named.conf sent examplestore.com to the alias file it would see that 
examplestore.com and www.examplestore.com are both at 192.168.1.1.

If named.conf also sent examplesite.com to the file then it would see that 
examplesite.com and www.examplesite.com are both at 192.168.1.1 as well.

As noted by someone else you should only have one PTR record (we keep that in a 
separate arpa zone) that points to your primary domain.

Note that in the above the NS (name server) and MX (mail) records point to your 
regular mail and name servers in a primary domain and are not relative to the 
alias domains like the www is.

Yes.

None.  This sort of thing is very commonly done, for example with

Max Cache Objects

2011-09-21 Thread TMK
I have couple of questions.

bind cache memory limit is 4GB. can I increase it. or this is hard-coded limit.

i'm running the x64 bit version.

also to increase the cache hit ratio I have created script to query my
dns for the top 1 million sites. would this give any performance
advantages or is it useless.

thx in advance

You can _try_ to raise that limit above 4Gb (see the various 
configuration elements under "Operating System Resource Limits" in the 
ARM), but your OS may still limit you. You'd need to look at your OS 
documentation to see how to raise "soft" and/or "hard" limits.

also to increase the cache hit ratio I have created script to query my
dns for the top 1 million sites. would this give any performance
advantages or is it useless.

Since a large percentage of those top sites use DNS-based load-balancing 
with small TTLs on their records, it's pretty useless.


Of course, you can measure your cache hit ratio to see if it's really 
helping you or not. Real data always beats pure speculation.

Why are you going through all of these gyrations? The forwarding 
algorithm in BIND has for a long time been based on RTT, so if one 
forwarder, or a set of forwarders, stops working, the other(s) will be 
used automatically. In other words, forwarder failover works without any 
special configuration.


I don't even understand your "forward first" solution. "Forward first" 
says to use iterative (non-recursive) resolution if forwarding fails 
(i.e. all the forwarders are non-responsive). How then can you use it to 
fail over from one set of forwarders to another? I don't get it. If you 
send a non-recursive query to a forwarder, you're at the mercy of 
whatever happens to be in its cache at that particular time. You can't 
get reliable resolution that way.



Another problem: there's a lot of resolution on dns-cache querying
a.root-servers.net, is it safe that i hijack a.root-servers.net to my
own DNS? If it's safe, I can cut down queries to a.root-servers.net by
millions of times per hour.
If you're getting a lot of recursive queries for a.root-servers.net, you 
have a misbehaving client that you need to track down and vaporize.

This is pretty-well way out of scope for "bind-users" by now.

Thanks for clarifying, Kevin.
I hadn't tried the "Undelegated domain test" until just now.
I see.

This is not working... I did some test, and if dns-cache got a

That's the intended behavior. NXDOMAIN is a final response. There's no 
need to go further.
  

Is there any other solution I can hack?

Look forwarding to your kind responses :-)


When I query a name, the dns-cache queries forwarders for gTLDs
instead of using local hint file, why?

Because the hints file is only for the *root* zone.

And the dns-cache does not
trust forwarder returned result when set "forward first", is it
possible to fake it?

What do you mean "not trust"?

I can dig a domain but named won't resolve it.

2011-09-21 Thread Keith Burgoyne

Hi there,

I have a potentially BIND related problem and I'm positively stuck. I've 
posted this question on Server Fault 
(http://serverfault.com/questions/306997/cant-seem-to-resolve-domain-but-can-dig-it) 
with little exposure. The jist of it is:


My name server (24.222.7.12) refuses to resolve any domains belonging to 
and including extremehosting.ca. It turns out that named can't get the A 
record for their name servers (204.15.193.163 - ns2.extremehosting.ca 
and 204.15.193.162 - ns1.extremehosting.ca).


Running dig on the name server produces this:


 dig extremehosting.ca +trace

Initially I thought it was a source-natting issue that I had noticed on 
my firewall. DNS packets coming from my firewall were being 
source-natted to port 53 and had broken the ability to dig 
@204.15.193.162. I've since removed the source-natting, allowing full 
dig-aility. And yet, I can't dig +trace, and I suspect that's the reason 
why I can't perform a recursive lookup on my name server.


I'm running BIND-9.3.4. Old, I know. The server is scheduled to be 
replaced, but I need to get this working in the meantime.


Any advice would be massively appreciated.

Thank you,

Keith

This file just replace the original root-servers with all my 4
recursive DNS's domain name and IP, nothing other.

When using "forward first", it discards forwarders's response and did
a rscursive resolution.

Oops, I misunderstood. But I want to resolve this problem: take
news.qq.com for example, I DID saw that it's unresolvable to one group
(they returned NXDomain), at meantime it's no problem to another
group, and "dig news.qq.com +trace" returned correct answer on both
group. It seems like it's just a temporary failure, but I want to
correct. Any other choices?

It's an ISP, hard to track down every one, I just want to suppress it
that the misbehaving can't go further. Is it safe to hijack on
dns-cache?
