RE: What is wrong with my second $ORIGIN
Just as a general piece of advice, if you're trying to troubleshoot a zonefile parsing issue, sometimes it's useful to just do a zone transfer of the loaded zone and eyeball it. This is obviously more practical with a smaller zone (such as the one you showed) than a huge one, but even if the zone is large, you can focus on only the specific names/RRsets that you consider problematic. In this case, a zone transfer would have shown the $ORIGIN being appended to the name in the input file which was missing the trailing period. It should have stuck out like a sore thumb, as they say, because the name would have been long and strange-looking. Sometimes that's a really quick way to home in on the problem than to stare at the input zone file and mimic the zonefile-parsing algorithm in one's head. Of course, this assumes the zone loaded at all. It's possible to mess up a zonefile so much that it doesn't even load, but, in such cases, BIND usually gives a very specific error message about what's wrong. So those don't tend to lead to "mysteries" like the more subtle errors do (e.g. trailing-period omissions). - Kevin -Original Message- From: bind-users [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Harshith Mulky Sent: Friday, September 15, 2017 4:16 AM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Re: What is wrong with my second $ORIGIN Than you All.

Please read the error message *carefully*. ns1.mail.lab.example.com.lab.example.com != ns1.mail.lab.example.com. You are missing a terminating period on the MX record.
