Hi there,

I'm trying to get my name servers working in redhat 7.3 using bind 9.2.0.

I have everything working well in Suse Linux 9.1, so basically I just copied the zone file for my domain over, but I'm now getting lame nameservers.

(Please bare with me I'm a newbie

(DNSreport.com/tools/dnsreport.c...phil-keaggy.com)

Here is what my zone file looks like:

(it is in var/named and is called (phil-keaggy.com.zone), note: I tried renaming it to just phil-keaggy.com and didn't have any luck)

$TTL 2D
@ IN SOA ns1.phil-keaggy.com. webmaster.mediareaction.com. (
2004053111 ; serial
1H ; refresh
1H ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum

@ IN NS ns1.phil-keaggy.com.
@ IN NS ns2.phil-keaggy.com.
@ IN A 24.80.196.197
@ IN MX 10 phil-keaggy.com.
ns1 IN A 24.80.196.197
ns2 IN A 24.80.196.197
www IN CNAME phil-keaggy.com.
ftp IN CNAME phil-keaggy.com.

Here is my named.conf file, it seems very similar to the one in Suse Linux.

## named.conf - configuration for bind
#
# Generated automatically by bindconf, alchemist et al.
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";

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


zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};


zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};


zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
};
zone "phil-keaggy.com" {
type master;
file "phil-keaggy.com";
};

Basically my question is, what is the difference? How come I'm now getting lame nameservers, now that I switched to redhat 7.3?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Oh, the topic title is priceless. And so true.

Well they are definately lame. heh.

Is there any solution to this?

Or Should I just go back to Suse?
