[Pdns-users] PDNS - syslog test
PowerDNS version you are using? Power DNS Authoritative Server Version 2.9.22 Operating system it is running on? Linux(Ubuntu) Hi Everyone, I just wanted to confirm an observation/test of my 'syslog' files to make sure that everything is operating correctly In testing my PowerDNS from different computers, I have run the 'nslookup [site name]' command from my CMD prompt and then went to check my PDNS syslog files to confirm everything is operating correctly. Given this, I get one 'non authoritative, sending servfail' input for this [site name] in my logs from running this one 'nslookup [site name]' command. This one error should be okay because the 'nslookup' command sends three requests (PTR host name, A record and record), and I have: 1 PTR record for the reverse mapping of the host name, 1 A record for the [site name], and 0 records for the [site name] Which is why my log files are showing the 'non authoritative, sending servfail' input for this [site name] in my syslog , because I have no AA, , ss , because I have no record. QUESTIONS: 1. Thus, this one error is fine and should be expected from the layout described? If not, then why do I get the 'non authoritative, sending servfail' input? ? 2. Also, in your experiences what differs from a 'nslookup' command in a CMD prompt Vs. a 'http://' request from a internet browser such as Mozilla or Internet Explorer? Thank you for any help you can provide. Regards, -Morgan ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
[Pdns-users] DNS Requirements - Packet Type Allowance/Responses/Settings
Does anyone have a specific list of the required packet types (and response settings) needed for DNS servers to fully operate on the net? I know UDP is a must, but more to the point, are ICMP (ping, tracert) responses required for people/internet browsers to use your DNS?

[Pdns-users] redirect a search for one site to another site
PowerDNS version you are using? Power DNS Authoritative Server Version 2.9.22 Operating system it is running on? Linux(Ubuntu) Where you got the binary from, ie did you compile it yourself (which compiler, including version), from your distribution or ports tree etc? Unbuntu auto download What is going wrong? I want to redirect a search for one site to another site and I'm unable to redirect a search for one site to another. More specific, and for example puposes I have two records. The first is 'red.com' with a record type of 'CNAME' and content of 'blue.com' , then the second record is 'blue.com' with a record type of 'A' and the correct IP address of '150.145.15.1' So now when I do a http search for 'red.com' I get to the error site of '150.145.15.1' and not all the way to the site of 'blue.com' Then, now to confirm the second record is working properly, I am able to go directly by doing a http search for 'blue.com' and I do get all the way to 'blue.com' site. So I know thats working. Given all of this, I suspect the problem is one of the following: 1. I am not inserting the records correctly, or using the wrong record types 2. The CNAME does not send back to the http search the 'blue.com' name so when it gets to site '150.145.15.1' it does not know what to look for (and is probably looking for 'red.com' instead of 'blue.com' and thats why I get the error page) 3. I should not be using CNAME for a redirect, but some other record type 4. or, the Aliases in the record is interrupting the search somehow on '150.145.15.1' What you did, or somebody else did, that causes things to go wrong? n/a, Just need to figure it out. What you expect to happen (many problems are in fact wrong expectations, and not bugs)? Correct. I presume nothing is wrong at this point, except not know the correct record procedures. *ANYTHING* else that might be relevant, like load balancers, strange hardware, firewall rules etc etc? No, nothing else. Thank you! I look forward to the feedback! ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
