I have to be missing something, but at this stage, I don't know what it is.
I've setup bind on my FreeBSD box here in the office and have a few machines,
including my desktop using it as their one and only nameserver. it's hosting
two domains, one as a slave (domain.com), another subdomain of that slave as
a master (office.domain.com). for the most part it works just fine, but
every once in a while, Konqueror will complain that the site can't be found.
When this happens though, all I have to do is click on the link again, and I
get the site in question.
As a test, I did a for loop in Bash with a bunch of host lookups for random
names. Of the 21 hosts I picked at random, all but two returned without
errors. The second time i ran the same command though, all 21 returned just
fine. The errors I got were:
$ host www.fireflyfans.net
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$ host www.jossisahottie.com
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 5615, got 47281
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 5615, got 47281
www.jossisahottie.com is an alias for jossisahottie.com.
jossisahottie.com has address 209.59.140.58
Forgive me, I had Buffy on the brain ;-) The fact that both of these domains
resolved just fine the second time through tells me it's not their fault, so
I'm left trying to figure out what I did wrong. My named.conf file is below
if any of you can help out.
$ cat /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
// listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
// listen-on-v6 { ::1; };
forward only;
forwarders {
// 127.0.0.1
<ip of one known to be good nameserver>;
};
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "master/localhost.rev";
};
zone
"1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA" {
type master;
file "master/localhost-v6.rev";
};
zone
"1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.INT" {
type master;
file "master/localhost-v6.rev";
};
// private zone files follow
...
I watched the firewall during this test and there were not blockages on port
53 incoming or outgoing for the duration of the test, so I'm currently at a
loss. Thanks for any help you might have.
