Afternoon all
I have a problem with notification on BIND2.2.2 runing on NT 4 (SP6a).
Currently have 2 Internet Facing NS both running on above setup as Primary
and secondary for mulitple zones yet when I update a zone and change the
serial (date set) on the master notification fails to take place.
Example zone from my primary named.conf looks like:
zone "mydomain.com" IN {
type master;
file "mydomain.com.dns";
also notify { 192.168.224.11; };
Example conf from slave named.conf looks like:
zone "mydomain.com" IN {
type slave;
file "mydomain.com.dns";
masters { 192.168.224.10; };
Where the zone file "mydomain.com.dns" SOA for the serial is configured as:
@ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. hostmaster.mydomain.com. (
200008300 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh after 3 Hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 Hour
604800 ; Expire after 1 Week
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL of 1 day
The only answer has been to remove the zone file on my secondary Name Server
and restart the service (ISC BIND) which will generate a new file from the
updated master records but even this drastic action can fail as the new file
on occasion will generate the records from its cache??
Any ideas people, anyone experience problems before with Bind on NT and
specifically notify requests.?? I could do with solving this as we are
authoratative for 450 domains and administering these under either NT4 or
2000 (where notification works) will be a nightmare where as text based
editing on Bind for 450 domains is a piece of, er, p1ss and somehting I want
to keep.. Anyway who wants to have DNS records in the registry? ;)
TIA
Richard..
