[Pdns-users] Problem with SOA auto-generation.

2009-07-02 Thread Christian Svensson
Hello. I'm running PowerDNS 2.9.22 with PostgreSQL 8.3 SOAs which have a serial of 0 will not replicate to slaves (have to pdns_control notify test-zone.se) nor will it detect changes in zones. Changing SOA serials manually works just fine. Old thread from 2008 which seems to be dead: http://mail

Ken, I haven't found the experience we're having with this one domain to be true with the other domains hosted on these servers. Moreover, we chose server hosts whose servers are configured for multihoming because we knew we needed to do it successfully and couldn't, necessarily count on our softw

I'll check that out. Thanks for reminding me of this command because I couldn't remember or find it. However, in the case of the domain in question, it'll return their SOA records since I couldn't move the domain from their NS to ours. It may be useful to check other domains, though. Sasha On T

Jani, That does help and I figured that since all the other NS are working fine and the registrar for my other domains has no problem entering our NS for our domains. Any idea how I fix it? The SOA data on the two servers are for two different servers so it will be different and serial numbers ar

2009-07-02 Thread Matthew Walster - Gyron
Hey there, I've inherited a DNS recursive resolver infrastructure based on PowerDNS recursor, and there are reports of strange DNS errors occasionally - either NXDOMAIN or just timeouts. Looking into it, ip_conntrack seems to think there are currently 3 connections, with a connection table

Hi, I think that this is a good possibility. We have seen connection problems when trying to talk to a multi-homed DNS server. If you are not very careful, you get a three-way traffic pattern which results in a failed TCP conversation. Regards, Ken On Thu, Jul 02, 2009 at 06:15:44PM +0300, Jani

Hi, Your problem is with SOA DNS-record: The given nameservers return different SOA entries. So either your SOA serial, data or TTL differs between servers. Or it just that other server doesn't respond to SOA request that is making the SOA check fail, even though the problem is not with SOA bu

Ken, Thank you for sharing but, after about a week of figuring out the answer to my question by researching and trial and error, I realize it's not the DNS specs generally, I'm having difficulty with; it's the documentation that relates to the way PDNS works technically. I'd like more in depth exp

Ken, I'm not sure what you mean. For example, so we didn't have to enter different NS for 50 domains, I registered a domain name specifically for use with NS (that is their sole purpose) and I've set up NS for multiple website domain names that are identical--kinda like a webhosting company does?
