Trying to setup a name server on Fedora 17
 

I am migrating my bind-chroot on Fedora 15 to a Fedora 17 and I can't seem to insert data in the named.conf file of my zones.

When I add the information I get errors trying to restart the service.

Did something change in bind-chroot between 9.8.3 2.P1.fc15 to 9.9.2 3.P1.fc17?

I cannot just copy the named.conf from /var/named/chroot/etc on the fc15 to fc17 as I will still get an error.

I am trying to add the following; *server names changed for security...

view "external" {
match-clients { any; };
recursion no;

zone "serverx1.com" {
type master;
file "serverx1.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "serverx2.com" {
type master;
file "serverx2.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "serverx3.com" {
type master;
file "serverx3.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "serverx4.com" {
type master;
file "serverx4.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "serverx5.com" {
type master;
file "serverx5.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "serverx6.com" {
type master;
file "serverx6.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "serverx7.com" {
type master;
file "serverx7.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};
};

If you really want a fast, secure and stable DNS server & recursor (it has far less bugs and security issues than BIND)I'd recommend you look at powerdns - it's fairly straightforward to configure.

I installed and am using that with no issues, really nice system! Thanks!

You're welcome, I'm glad you got it working. :)
