 Use 'dig -x 209.85.255.187 @ns1.isp' and look at NS records and TTLs.
 Invalid delegations and inconsistent NS records (domain is delegated from
 parent to different servers than those listed in the domain) often cause
 these kinds of problems.
 
I think I did have same problem
with 9.4.1p1, 9.5p2 and 9.6p1. Look

Using domain server:

www.bbc.net.uk has address 212.58.253.68
Host www.bbc.net.uk not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
[d...@brandmauer ~]$


I did sniff connecction and It seems that the query that fails is a MX request 
of www.bbc.net.mx. Odd thing.

When I ask to a exchange dns server, query is okay.

Is this a bug?

By default, host looks up A,  and MX records, in that order.
I did sniff connecction and It seems that the query that fails is a MX request 
of www.bbc.net.mx. Odd thing.


  
The delegated nameservers for bbc.net.uk are answering an MX query with 
an A record:


$ dig www.bbc.net.uk mx @ns0.rbsov.bbc.co.uk +short
212.58.253.68
$ dig www.bbc.net.uk mx @ns0.thdo.bbc.co.uk +short 
212.58.253.68


Really bad stuff, but this is a *persistent* condition, caused by the 
domain owner(s), and probably not related to the issue reported by the 
previous poster.

 Hello,
 
 My Internet ISP give two nameservers address.
 But when I'm asking those two servers sometimes I get:
 [r...@linux ~]# host d.yimg.com ns.my.isp
 Using domain server:
 Name: ns.my.isp
 Address: ns.my.isp#53

Host d.timg.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
metis% host d.yimg.com 
d.yimg.com is an alias for geoycs-d.gy1.b.yahoodns.net.
geoycs-d.gy1.b.yahoodns.net is an alias for 
fo-anyycs-d.ay1.b.yahoodns.net.
fo-anyycs-d.ay1.b.yahoodns.net has address 98.137.88.88
metis% named -v

Above executed in the space of about a minute...
 
 but sometimes I get:
 
 [r...@linux ~]# host d.yimg.com ns.my.isp

fo-anyycs-d.ay1.b.yahoodns.net.
 fo-anyycs-d.ay1.b.yahoodns.net has address 98.137.80.54
 
 
 He explain me this thats a normal because of this:
 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2308.html
 Some resolvers incorrectly continue processing if the authoritative
answer flag is not set, looping until the query retry threshold is
exceeded and then returning SERVFAIL.  This is a problem when your
nameserver is listed as a FORWARDER for such resolvers.  If the
nameserver is used as a FORWARDER by such resolver, the authority
flag will have to be forced on for NXDOMAIN responses to these
resolvers.  In practice this causes no problems even if turned on
always, and has been the default behaviour in BIND from 4.9.3
onwards.
 
 Is this true ?
 
 Thanks

There are no less than *four* CNAMEs to resolve to get to the result,
while even two is discouraged. It is not suprising that it may fails

endless loops).

Re: Bind sometimes SERVFAIL

2009-11-11 Thread Kevin Darcy
Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to use RFCs to diagnose 
operational issues, unless you've already narrowed the problem down to 
some sort of standard-conformance or interoperability issue.


What is described below is merely one of potentially *dozens* of 
different causes of a SERVFAIL result.


Follow normal root-cause analysis. Eliminate variables/causes. 
Understand and test dependencies. Get to the heart of the matter. If you 
don't know how to do that personally, escalate to someone who does.
