Yes, it is the correct way. These are so-called 'glue records' and are needed if (and only if) the nameservers are below the zone apex. If you have one NS below zone apex, and another somewhere outside, than you need one glue record. And these are needed because server needs to know about NS, master because it needs to send notify and other servers (like .CA in your example) to provide correct referrals. Probably in 9.2 it wasn't required, but according to RFC 1034, last paragraph of section 4.2.1, it is correct behaviour to require it.

Just because a zone loads doesn't mean that it will work.

Trouble loading a zone file after updating BIND
I have a hidden master name server for the domain domain.CA. The name servers for this domain are in the subdomain sub.Domain.CA as ns1 and ns2. Those are the name servers my clients query. The zone file starts off like this: $TTL 3600 Domain.CA. IN SOA ns1.sub.Domain.CA. dnsgrp.Domain.CA. ( 20782 ; Serial 3600; Refresh 1800; Retry 604800 ; Expire 3600 ) ; Negative TTL ; ;-- ;Name Servers ;-- IN NS ns1.sub.Domain.CA. IN NS ns2.sub.Domain.CA. ...etc On the master name server, I'm upgrading BIND from an older version, 9.2.1, to 9.7. However, when I attempt to load this zone Domain.CA, it gives me an error: Mar 29 09:52:13 ns-master named: zone Domain.CA/IN: NS 'ns2.sub.Domain.CA' has no address records (A or ) Mar 29 09:52:13 ns-master named: zone Domain.CA/IN: NS 'ns1.sub.Domain.CA' has no address records (A or ) Mar 29 09:52:13 ns-master named: zone Domain.CA/IN: not loaded due to errors. The A records for the two nameservers exist in the sub.Domain.CA zone file. I can fix the error by adding the two nameserver A records to the Domain.CA zone file but I'm wondering why this is an error with 9.7, and not 9.2.1, and is this the correct way to fix this? I hope this isn't DNS 101 ;) -Mike ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
