Hi there,
I seem to hit this problem every time I install bind. I have a couple
of workarounds, but I don't like ANY of them.
This should probably be a FAQ by now. Once I sort this out, I'll write
one and submit it for addition into the handbook.
The only thing I have changed in this example is my machines IP
range and my domain. All other data is accurate :)
Here is what happens: I do an nslookup from the machine as follows:
nslookup - 192.168.1.170 and I get the following output:
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.170: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Now for my config :
I have a server with 2 IP addresses. The nameserver IP address is an
alias on the box (eg 192.168.1.170)
I have the following as my named.conf
options
{
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "named_dump.db"; // _PATH_DUMPFILE
pid-file "/var/run/named.pid"; // _PATH_PIDFILE
statistics-file "/var/log/named.stats"; // _PATH_STATS
memstatistics-file "/var/log/named.memstats"; // _PATH_MEMSTATS
datasize 20M;
query-source address 192.168.1.170 port 53;
forwarders {
my.isps.name.server;
};
listen-on { 192.168.1.170; };
allow-transfer {
192.168.1.171; };
allow-query { 0/0; };
notify yes;
allow-recursion { none; };
};
zone "."
{
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "named.local";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "127.0.0";
};
include "/etc/master.zones";
include "/etc/slave.zones";
/etc/master.zones is as follows:
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in { type master; file "master/1.168.192.in-addr.arpa"; };
My 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa file is as follows:
$TTL 1d
@ SOA ns0.mydomain.com. hostmaster.mydomain.com. (
2001070301
10800
3600
604800
86400
)
NS ns0.mydomain.com.
129 PTR mail.mydomain.com.
170 PTR ns0.ehsrealtime.com.
Why do I get this error? there are no messages complaining about the
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa zone when I start named.
If I comment out the master zone and restart bind, I get the following
error:
named[26072]: denied recursion for query from [192.168.1.10].2320 for 170.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa
named[26072]: denied recursion for query from [213.52.146.196].2321 for 170.168.192.in-addr.arpa
If I comment out the allow-recursion (which I'd rather not do) then it
works, but why would it not work with the master zone included ? What
is wrong with my zone file, or my install that it isn't being read?
Thanks in advance to any guru's who can shed light on this.
