DNS problem

Cubiq · 09-02-2002, 08:56 AM

I have a zone "." type hint and I've configured a file "root.hints" so the DNS server get the IPs from there but it doesn't! does anybody have any ideea why?

no one will have a clue with as little information as that!! what is the contentsw of the file? are tehre and errors in the "dmesg" output? does the daemon start freshly??

Can you post your /etc/named.conf file as well?

Check what's going into /var/log/messages as well for information as to what's going on with BIND.

sorry... i was in a hurry...

here is my named.conf

options {
directory "/var/named";
};

zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "root.hints";
};

zone "badboys." IN {
type master;
file "badboys.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "0.168.192.arpa";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "1.168.192.arpa";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "caching-example/localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "caching-example/named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};

and now rises a new problem(the old one it's solved) when I do

Code:

ping www.google.com

for example... my dns server tries to connect to the servers listed in root.hints(I think that's normal) but I think I have an old list or... something because he can't resolv my name...!
One more thing to make things clearer...
I have the DNS on a gateway between to subnet 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/30! I get access to the Internet through dial-up on the other computer in 192.168.1.0/30 (exactly 192.168.1.2, my Linux box has 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.2)
It is not a nat server but only router... I think 192.168.1.2 do SNAT! Correct? So... I have to put a DNS sever on a computer hwo gets a routeable IP??? Any soulution to my problem? How can I see the cache?? Thanks a lot for support!!!

well if you think you have an old list, get a new one..... dig @e.root-servers.net

ping 216.239.39.101 (wich is google) works perfectly from my Linux box...

acid_kewpie · 09-04-2002, 04:57 AM

so what? we'd got as far as making a new root.hints file...

how can I see the cache made by named(a dump or somthing like that...)??? and how can I change the amount of cache and how big can I set him!?

acid_kewpie · 09-05-2002, 05:01 PM

you don't, it's all controlled automatically by the named daemon i believe
