RE: Unable to query the nameserver

2010-10-04 Thread Imri Zvik
You should first verify that you see the packets arriving to ns1.example.de - tcpdump should do the work. Then, enable the query log and ensure that BIND sees the query. Again, the logs are your friends. -Original Message- From: Dotan Cohen [mailto:dotanco...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, Oct

What does the logs say? Is the server chrooted or not? And I think you want to use "type slave;" for that zone, if this is a secondary server. -Original Message- From: Dotan Cohen [mailto:dotanco...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 12:53 AM To: Imri Zvik Cc:

What are you trying to achieve? An empty named.conf file means named will use defaults for everything, and will probably just work out-of-the-box (as a simple resolver) so you should give more information about the goal and problem (including log entries, troubleshooting data etc.). -Origina

9.4.3 oddities

2010-01-05 Thread Imri Zvik
Hi, We've recently upgraded our caching servers to 9.4.3-P4/P3 (2 of them running 9.4.3-P4 and 2 running 9.4.3-P3). Few days ago I've noticed something strange - When the server is loaded, some queries randomly fails (SERVFAIL). It seems that only queries for which the answer is NOT cached are
