I think that you should upgrade your hints (.) zone. To do so, make a backup of your named.ca and then run:

Code:

dig @a.root-servers.net . ns > named.ca

soroccoheaven · 09-14-2007, 02:31 AM

all done as you said but still getting same error.

bathory · 09-14-2007, 02:43 AM

What, if you run just:

Code:

named-checkzone . /var/named/named.ca

soroccoheaven · 09-14-2007, 02:50 AM

[root@serv root]# named-checkzone . /var/named/named.ca
zone ./IN: loaded serial 2007091301
OK
[root@serv root]#

and
Sep 14 13:18:58 serv named[14736]: zone lin.ald/IN: loaded serial 2006012152
Sep 14 13:18:58 serv named[14736]: zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 2006704210
Sep 14 13:18:58 serv named[14736]: zone 2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 2006012103
Sep 14 13:18:58 serv named[14736]: zone localhost/IN: loaded serial 2002022401
Sep 14 13:18:58 serv named[14736]: running

So everything is OK now.

That was because you used a wrong command. The name of the hint zone is (.), so you should run the named-checkzone command using the dot (.) instead of named.ca which is the zone filename.
