Hi, Just experiencing some crazy
problems with ‘named’ (dns). Our web server (which is also our gateway to the Internet
for our office machines) serves as a DNS and sporadically over the last couple
of days, for no known reason, named keeps failing and every now and then
(between 15 minutes to a few hours) it will just, stop. I restart it using
‘service named restart’ and it says that the shutdown of named
failed, but startup is OK. Originally (not knowing what the problem was) I reset our
web server, so it’s not just some bug in startup, and we have made NO
changes that should effect it’s workings at all. Just weird. =/ I’ve looked through the cronjobs
& there’s nothing that even comes close to the failure times, so I
can’t see what the problem might be. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing before, or have
any idea what it might be? When ‘named’ “fails”, it simply
won’t let us view our website, or any other site on the net using domain
names. IPs
work fine. Using Redhat 7.3 I think Here is a quick dump of ‘rndc’
– (when named is working unfortunately, haven’t been here for last
few failures) *------------------------------------------------ [root]# rndc status number of zones:
28 debug level: 0 xfers running: 0 xfers deferred: 0 soa queries in
progress: 0 query logging is
OFF server is up and
running ------------------------------------------------* I have no idea how that’s going to help, but who
knows? Not me =
) Thanks for any help. Cheers, The Waterexchange Pty Ltd |
