[cifs-protocol] authority section return for unknown replies

2010-12-20 Thread tridge
Windows DNS servers return an AUTHORITY section pointing at the authoritative DNS server when looking up a name that doesn't exist. We'd like to know if this is important for correct operation with Windows clients. For example, if I lookup unknown.v2.tridgell.net: tri...@blu:~/$ dig @10.0.0.4 -t

[cifs-protocol] SOA entries and AXFR

2010-12-20 Thread tridge
We've noticed that Windows DNS servers return the SOA record for a zone twice in a AXFR zone transfer, once at the start of the transfer, and once at the end. Can you tell us if that matters? Is it deliberate? Cheers, Tridge ___ cifs-protocol mailing li

[cifs-protocol] strange records in DNS LDAP NCs

There are a few aspects of the Windows DNS NCs that are puzzling us: 1) we see records like this: dn: DC=..SerialNo-W2K8R2B.v2.tridgell.net,DC=v2.tridgell.net,CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=v2,DC=tridgell,DC=net dnsRecord: NDR: struct dnsp_DnssrvRpcRecord wDataLength

Thx, Tridge. I've seen the non-NULL dwReserved before and, as it turns out, I already have an inquiry on this. As part of my follow-up to our IO Lab, I captured several DnsRecords to verify that dwTtlSeconds seemed to be in network order. In the same report, I shared the observation that I wa

I'm trying to work out the bits in the dwFlags field in dnsRecord attributes in LDAP. I need these in order to correctly create new records. [MS-DNSP] talks about several dwFlags fields, but not of them seem to correspond to the bits I'm seeing. On a w2k8r2 server I see the following dwFlags value
