My dns files are here;

1. named.conf

Code:

 //

// named.conf for Red Hat caching-nameserver 

//myserver.org (named.conf)



options {

        directory "/var/named"; 

        dump-file "/var/tmp/named_dmp.db";

        statistics-file "/var/tmp/named.stats";

        pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";

        allow-transfer {203.250.57.28; };    

};



// 

// a caching only nameserver config

// 

controls {

        inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };

};



zone "." IN {

        type hint;

        file "named.ca";

};



zone "localdomain" IN {

        type master;

        file "localdomain.zone";

        allow-update { none; };

};

zone "myserver.org" IN {

        type master;

        file "myserver.zone";

        allow-update { none; };

};



zone "localhost" IN {

        type master;

        file "localhost.zone";

        allow-update { none; };

};



zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {

        type master;

        file "named.local";

        allow-update { none; };

};



zone "57.250.203.in-addr.arpa" IN {

        type master;

        file "zone-57.250.203.in-addr.arpa";

};

        type master;

        file "named.ip6.local";

        allow-update { none; };

};



zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN {

        type master;

        file "named.broadcast";

        allow-update { none; };

};



zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN {

        type master;

        file "named.zero";

        allow-update { none; };

};



include "/etc/rndc.key";

2. zone-57.250.203.in-addr.arpa

Code:

$TTL    3600

@      IN      SOA            ns.myserver.org. root.myserver.org. (

                                20050309012      ;Serial

                                21600          ;Refresh        ( 6 hours )

                                1800            ;Retry          ( 30 minutes )

                                1209600        ;Expire        ( 14 days )

                                86400 )        ;Minimum        ( 1 day )

        IN      NS              ns.myserver.org.



240    IN      PTR            ns.myserver.org.

Any comment would be appreciated.

At zone-57.250.203.in-addr.arpa,

20050309012 ;Serial

was wrong.

Changed 2005030901 from 20050309012, and fixed.

FYI: You can use a tool called named-checkconf and named-checkzone to check BIND dns server (named daemon) configuration and zone file syntax under Linux / UNIX. It checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a named configuration file i.e. it can check for syntax errors or typographical errors but cannot check for wrong MX / A address assigned by you. Nevertheless, this is an excellent tool for troubleshooting DNS server related problems.

Glad you got it fixed. This is a really good Deployment guide for RHEL/Centos v5 http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...ion/index.html
