Hello I have a BIND 9 on Centos 5 and I'm using view to differenciate dns reply based on source ip. All work fine exept the zone declared as type forward.

here some abstract about the config:

options {
...

recursion no;
listen-on port 53 {
10.x.x.x; };
cleaning-interval 30; # time in MINUTES when all expired records will be deleted (default 60)
listen-on-v6 { none; };
allow-query-cache { "ACL_all"; };
forward only;
forwarders { 10.xx.xx.x; 10.xx.xx.x; };
};



view "common" {
match-clients { "client_common"; };
recursion no;


zone "intranet.kkk.ch" in {
type forward;
forwarders { 145.xx.xx.xx; 193.xx.xx.xx;};
};



and here some logs:

Help will be apreciated ...

Hi,

You should post the whole named.conf, so we can better understand what your views and zones are.
In the meantime, because of:
replace "recursion no" with:
where x.x.x.x, y.y.y.y are your clients IPs and see if it helps

Regards

It seams that recursion is not a problem with

view "common" {
match-clients { "client_common"; };
recursion yes;
....

the issues remain the same
8-Jun-2012 11:08:24.581 client: debug 3: client xx.xx.39.26#3726: view common: error

It seams that dns request is not reconaised on domanin/zone intranet.kkk.ch.
is it possible to increase the log details ?

at the moment is:
logging {
channel named_logging {
file "/var/log/named.log";
severity debug 7 ;
print-time yes;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
};
category default { named_logging; };
category queries { named_logging; };
category unmatched { named_logging; };
};

What is the error you get in client?


What happens if you remove the forwarders from the global section?
You can increase the severity debug level (up to 11 IIRC), or use "severity dynamic" and use "rndc trace X" to increase debugging to X level

Regards
