Hi,
Regarding Bill's post[1], cn.freebsd.org is one of the couple of
freebsd.org sub domains which do not have any secondary nameservers.
The reason why you are getting this mail (also sent to the FreeBSD Hubs
mailing list and the FreeBSD Hostmasters), is to add further redundancy
for the sub domains which you are hosting for the FreeBSD project. For
the record I'm sending this email to the hostmasters of the sub domains
within the freebsd.org domain who do not have any secondary nameservers
and I am in the process of setting up secondary DNS services for these
domains:
- ar.freebsd.org
- cn.freebsd.org
- br.freebsd.org
- fi.freebsd.org
- pl.freebsd.org
Please ensure that you allow transfers from the following two IP addresses:
- 72.21.46.203 (ns1.powertrip.co.za)
- 72.21.46.204 (ns2.powertrip.co.za)
Assuming that you are running Bind edit your /etc/named.conf file add
the following acl entry:
acl "powertrip" {
72.21.46.203/32;
72.21.46.204/32;
};
and on the XX.freebsd.org zone entry:
zone "XX.freebsd.org" {
type master;
file "master/db.xx.freebsd.org";
allow-transfer { powertrip; };
};
Also please add two NS records into your zonefile, replacing the XX's
with your subdomain in question.
XX.freebsd.org. IN NS ns1.powertrip.co.za.
XX.freebsd.org. IN NS ns2.powertrip.co.za.
I will be in contact with the FreeBSD hostmaster once the the zones have
successfully transfered to my nameservers so that the freebsd.org domain
can have the additional NS records added. I will also be in contact
with the subdomains who have only two nameservers to add to the
redundancy at a later stage.
If you have any queries, please contact me either by responding to this
email or emailing hostmaster@powertrip.co.za
Thank you for your supporting the FreeBSD project!
Regards
