I'm trying to set up BIND on RH73;
I've set it up, and, set all zones as 'master'
I can nslookup to it on the machine ittself, and, it appears OK;
BUT, it seems I have some access control issue:
my remote dns server can not transfer any zones from this server
I've just went over all settings with Webmin's BIND module
it has a :
Control Interface Options
that is set to:
(labels)
Internet port access Default port allow
(settings)
default (NOT), 127.0.0.1 (YES) allow localhost
Is this the directive I need to modify to allow DNS requests to be served ?
that corresponds to:
/etc/named.conf
## named.conf - configuration for bind
#
# Generated automatically by bindconf, alchemist et al.
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};
...
DESELECTING '127.0.0.1' and SELECTING 'DEFAULT' through Webmin stuff up
named.conf, as, it leaves the trailing " }; " in named.conf
- is this what prevents my BIND from allowing zone transfers ?
- do I just remove the whole 4 lines.... ?
- should I be just allowing secondary DNS servers in here ?
