in options (named.conf)
forward only;
forwarders{
isp dns1;
isp dns2;
};
is it a good thing ???.

thank you very much

"forward only" is not bad thing

but i think "forward fisrt" is better. at least bind will store domain records which are queried before, in its cache and wont ask same records to your ISP nameserver again and again unless the cache time (TTL) ends.

run
rndc-confgen
it will generate some lines for /etc/named.conf and /etc/rndc.conf. copy and past them to those files. also remove older lines about rndc key.
i think it will solve the rndc failed trouble.

good luck.

i just run rndc-confgen, it work. After coying and past the generate line in
/etc/named.conf and /etc/rndc.conf, i restart the nmed service.

But i have an other message

ermission deny and rndc failed again.
the service is restarted and all work well.

but my DNS still stop ...
what is the problem.
