I had the same problem yesterday with two servers running BIND 9.5.0-P2 on SPARC Solaris 8. I had to kill the process few times and finally it worked. After a time it failed again to resolve MX records for the same users. I updated the root zone (it had some old records) and it never failed aga

The present package for bind under ubuntu Linux is bind9.5. This is great and I am not complaining at all but all the rest of our bind servers are FreeBSD and using 9.3.5, soon to be 9.3.6. I read that it is best for them all to be the same version of bind. I have been asked to set up a sl

DNS MX timeouts

I've run into a problem with named and timeouts primarily with MX lookups. When a MX query fails the first time, i have to restart the named process before it will return a successful query. Again, its mainly with MX lookups but it also happens with A records as well. The problem subsides fo

2009-06-26 Thread Cherney John-CJC030
Is there a way to get dynamic DNS entries out of the jnl files and into the zone data file? My understanding is that the two usual ways are to run "rndc stop", or to wait a certain period of time. I'm running BIND 9.3.5-P1 on Solaris 10. What I am trying to do is to stop DNS, make a backup of all o

Why should we change the master server in the SOA record from oxygen, when oxygen is the real master? It is a "hidden" master. I believe that it is the CNAME that is causing zonecheck.fr to fail. The zonecheck.fr utility does not fail on our other zones that have a hidden master. I've us
