 Does the primary (that you made the change on) know the new info? If not,
 then reload the named or the zone itself.
 

And make sure you don't have any typo's in the zone configuration. Bind
will not reload the zone if there are errors in it.

SOS Bind

2001-09-04 Thread Craig

Hi debian people

I have a debian box running Bind, acting as a primary DNS server. I
have update the serial numbers on the zone files but nothing is
propagating out. Its been about 72 hours now and still has the old
IP of the server. Bind version 8.2.3

Any help would be great appreciated :)

First of all: have you reloaded the zone (`ndc reload $zonemame`)?

What do the logs tell?

cheers,

Did you make sure that your primary DNS server is listed as authorative
name server in the whois information for the domains you are serving?

Did you signal the nameserver to reread its zonefiles? Try 'ndc restart'
or 'kill -HUP pid_of_nameserver'.

This is unclear.

Does the primary (that you made the change on) know the new info? If not,
then reload the named or the zone itself.

Does the primary work (respond with the new info), but the secondaries
still have the old info? Then make sure the primary knows to notify the
secondaries.

The zone file can list the other nameservers for the zone (NS records), or
you can list them by IP in the also-notify directive. (Also make sure that
notify is not set to no.) This is how it knows who to tell; then the
slave (aka secondary) asks the primary if they need to do a zone
transfer.

Again, as someone else noted, be sure to look at the logs on both primary
and secondary systems.
