DNS broken after Fedora 10 upgrade
 

I have a primary and slave DNS server running on my internal LAN for the past 3-4 iterations of Fedora. However after the FC10 upgrade I cannot start the named service....

This is what I see in /var/log/messages

This is the results of named-checkconf -z

zone maizenblue.com/IN: maizenblue.com/MX 'mail.maizenblue.com' is a CNAME (illegal)
zone maizenblue.com/IN: loaded serial 2007041818
zone 10.10.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file 10.10.10.zone failed: file not found
_default/10.10.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: file not found


looks like it can't find the reverse zone file, however it is definitely there....Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

I'm connected straight into my onboard Lan card and it broke mine too. Guess I'll wait awhile for 10 to settle out before I try it again, I thought Fedora was more mature than that.

Randy, you'll be happy to know that I was able to resolve my issue.

The file not found issue was resolved by making a link to my reverse zone file in /var/named, however I was still seeing the other errors and bind wouldn't start..So I looked into the query-source message and this is what I did to fix the issue.


query-source address "ipaddress of my dns server" port 53;

sounds like you did a upgrade and the problem with that is 10 has changed some stuff and the files used to hold this info are set to forbiden so now that file could not be copied and and update to the new location. if this was not a yum distro upgrade then let me know. I am still working on the fc8 bugs but fc likes to be on the bleeding edge. and it is not for the everyday user fc8 with all the up dates are very stable. fc9 has to many issues to but it is getting better. hang in there.

Hello,thanks for replying the upgrade was done via yum. Let me know if I can supply you with any other information..
