You should not have a localhost record in your prideindesign.com zone. You should create a separate zone db.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa with a zone file similar to the one below: =========================================================================== ; Local server zone information: 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa ;=========================================================================== @ IN SOA dmguntherbsd.company.com. email.company.com. ( 1 ; Serial No. 21600 ; Refresh 3600 ; Retry 604800 ; Expire 86400 ) ; Minimum ; IN NS dmguntherbsd.company.com. 1 IN PTR localhost. As long as you have the zone company.com and an A record for dmguntherbsd in that zone. Give that a shot and let me know if that helps. Dean -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Lewis [mailto:jmlewis@dslextreme.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 2:06 PM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: DNS config problems I don't think I have set up Bind9 correctly and I was hoping someone could point out any mistakes I may have made. I have tried to follow the examples in the handbook. I even bought DNS and BIND from O'riley. I don't really know how to troubleshoot a DNS issue yet. I know of the tools I just don't understand them yet. I have a MS DNS server running fine as my secondary and when I try to troubleshoot it I can't tell if I am getting a response from my MS system or my FBSD system. Ultimately I would like to make this bind system my primary. Once that is done I have made arrangements for an off site system to act as my secondary for redundancy and I can eliminate the MS system all together. Should I post my config info here or is that just a real bad idea? I mean anyone can get what they want from the internet I just don't know if posting it here is like inviting someone to crack my system. Also I currently only have one FreeBSD system. I am trying to run multiple services on this one system Mail, DNS, WWW, SQL. It is a pretty beefy system and will have no problem handling the load. I just want to hide the hostname of the system when I can. I only have the one customer hitting the system and it is a real small company. This system is overkill for them so I am trying to utilize the system to the best of my ability. I know in a perfect world I should have them each running on separate systems however that is not feasible right now. I was thinking of getting some old P1 systems and moving DNS over to that. Any other recommendations are welcome. Here is what I have. Please be gentile. apollo# ll /etc/namedb/ total 18 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 427 May 25 14:28 PROTO.localhost-v6.rev -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 423 May 25 14:28 PROTO.localhost.rev -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 492 Sep 10 16:21 localhost-v6.rev -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 488 Sep 10 16:21 localhost.rev -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1032 May 25 14:28 make-localhost -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 133 Sep 10 16:45 named.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2602 May 25 14:28 named.root drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 10 16:57 prideindesign.com apollo# more named.conf options { directory "/etc/namedb"; zone "prideindesign.com"{ type master; file "prideindesign.com/prideindesign.com.rev"; }; zone "250.159.66.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "prideindesign.com/250.159.66.in-addr.arpa.bak"; }; apollo# ll prideindesign.com/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 649 Sep 14 06:58 250.159.66.in-addr.arpa -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 978 Sep 14 06:57 prideindesign.com.rev apollo# more 250.159.66.in-addr.arpa $TTL 3600 250.159.66.in-addr.arpa.
