[SOLVED] Help with zone files.

Earlydayrambler · 12-18-2011, 02:44 PM

Greetings,

I have been in need of desperate help lately, and had nobody to go to. Hopefully this is the place.

I'm trying to get a DNS server up and running using BIND9 in Debian(squeeze).

I'm at the part where I modify to files called 1.168.192.rev and another called mydomain.com.db

Here is what the mydomain.com.db file looks like..

;
; BIND data file for mydomain.com.
;
$TTL 604800 IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. info.mydomain.com. (

@ 1 ; Serial
7200 ; Refresh
120 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800) ; Default TTL
;
@ IN A NS ns1.mydomain.com.
@ IN A NS ns2.mydomain.com.

Here is what my 192.168.1.rev file looks like.

$TTL 1d ;
$ORIGIN 1.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA.

@ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. info.mydomain.com. (
1
7200
120
2419200
604800
)
IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
IN NS ns2.mydomain.com.
1 IN PTR ns1.mydomain.com.
2 IN PTR ns2.mydomain.com.

Now, everytime I run the command

named-checkzone 192.168.1.rev mydomain.com.db

I then get the following error

dns_master_load: mydomain.com.db:4: extra input text
dns_rdata_fromtext: mydomain.com.db:12: near 'NS': bad dotted quad
dns_rdata_fromtext: mydomain.com.db:13: near 'NS': bad
dotted quad
zone 192.168.1.rev/IN: loading from master file mydomain.com.db failed: extra input text
zone 192.168.1.rev/IN: not loaded due to errors.

I keep getting that whole error. I tried looking for solutions but none helped.

Is there something missing in the files? Or should I change something around?

Take it easy on me, I'm new to this stuff.

You have no address (A) records for your name servers in mydomain.com.db, this is not valid:

Quote:

@ IN A NS ns1.mydomain.com.
@ IN A NS ns2.mydomain.com.

try..

Code:

@ IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
@ IN NS ns2.mydomain.com.

192.168.1.x IN A ns1.mydomain.com.
192.168.1.x IN A ns2.mydomain.com.

Thanks!

Now it gives me this error..

dns_master_load: mydomain.com.db:4: extra input text
dns_rdata_fromtext: mydomain.com.db:15: near 'ns1.mydomain.com.': bad dotted quad
dns_rdata_fromtext: mydomain.com.db:16: near 'ns2.mydomain.com.': bad dotted quad
zone 192.168.1.rev/IN: loading from master file mydomain.com.db failed: extra input text
zone 192.168.1.rev/IN: not loaded due to errors.

Anything else I could try?

I then get the following error

The correct is

Code:

named-checkzone mydomain.com mydomain.com.db
named-checkzone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa 192.168.1.rev

But you have many errors in both your zone files. Try the following:

Code:

$TTL 604800 
@ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. info.mydomain.com. (
2 ; Serial 
7200 ; Refresh
120 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800) ;  Minimum
;
@ IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
@ IN NS ns2.mydomain.com.
ns1.mydomain.com. IN A x.x.x.x
ns2.mydomain.com. IN A y.y.y.y

Code:

$TTL 1d ;
$ORIGIN 1.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA.

@ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. info.mydomain.com. (
2
7200
120
2419200
604800
)
 IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
 IN NS ns2.mydomain.com.
1 IN PTR ns1.mydomain.com.
2 IN PTR ns2.mydomain.com.
