bind not resolves forward lookup
I have configured bind9 in a debian lenny multihomed pc which acts as the squid proxy
Recently i configured bind9 and it is working partially Sorry that I could'nt post the configuration files now, as I am now in home I can ping the systems such as ping linux.tempnet.net, server.tempnet.net, cp.tempnet.net cp - the multihomed pc (192.168.10.1) Also #host 192.168.10.1 returns cp.tempnet.net #host 192.168.10.2 returns linux.tempnet.net #host 192.168.10.4 returns server.tempnet.net But #dig 192.168.10.1 is not returning the correct that I think it displays some root DNS- I think it should return cp.tempnet.net dig cp.tempnet.net returns 127.0.0.1 Thanks in advance |

You need the -x for reverse lookups. Try dig -x 192.168.10.1 |

Hi,
Add the ORIGIN record after the $TTL line in db.0.168.192 : Code:
$ORIGIN 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. |
host 192.168.0.2
Host 2.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) ************************************************************* entry in db.0.168.192 $TTL 86400 $ORIGIN 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. |
Have you increased the serial and restart bind?
What is the output of: Code:
dig SOA 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. |
Code:
debian:/etc/bind/zones# cat db.0.168.192 |
Yes I have changed the serial no also
(For all files like db.0, db.127 db.local etc.. is it necessary to change all serial nos?) Another problem When I tried to edit the entries via sed, it corrupted So I removed the package and also removed the /etc/bind directory. After the new installation, there was no configuration files. How to obtain the configuration files Though I have taken backup of the above files, I want the fresh configuration files How to obtain it? |
Every time you change a Bind file, change the serial number. Just the file you are changing, not all of them.
The widely used format is Year-Month-Day-0_to_99. YYYYMMDD## This number can be anything you want it to be, as long as the new number is greater than the previous number. This is one of those things that you just need to know to change on your own when requesting help with Bind. If there is a program to create new Bind files, I don't know what it is. I believe the default sample files are installed with the package. |
