Bind don't return DNS entries
 

Hello,

I've a strange problem with bind running on my SERVER_A.

On a remote server (SERVER_B), if I execute:

$ dig @SERVER_A domain.tld
I've no answer.

Now, I execute on my SERVER_A:

$ dig @127.0.0.1 domain.tld
I've an answer with the domain IP.

If now I re-execute on my SERVER_B:
$ dig @SERVER_A domain.tld
I've the domain IP returned.


I've tested on many subdomains or domains and I've the same problem : no answer before I execute a @127.0.0.1 dig query on the SERVER_A.

I've tried to restart Bind, to rndc reload. To rndc flush, but I've the same problem.

Do you have an idea please?

Thx

Ben

I think you didn't allow-recursion on Server A. If it is in cache, it will get the answer that is why prerequesting works. There is a separate directive to allow query cache, but I think just allowing query and recursion should fix it.

Please show the config files from your server:
named.conf
forward
reverse

Please put the output in code tags...

If you are unable to share take a look at this example (and compare your setup): https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-se...ver-with-bind/
