Hi,
(bind v 8)
I am trying to configure my local zone (dark) so I can auto-update db
entries via a tool called dhcp-dns (which is a collection of perl scripts
that use nsupdate to add entries from the dhcp lease table to the bind db).
I have configured things in a way that I think is right, but I am new to
bind so it's all a bit confusing!
The dhcp-dns tool seems to run fine. It creates a list of commands to pass
to 'nsupdate' to add hosts from the lease table. But when it runs, nothing
changes in bind.
I have manually added dns entries to the db file and the lookups work fine,
but when I run nslookup and enter the following command..
> update add doofus.dark 3600 IN A 192.168.0.113
i get no error message, but the IP address hasnt been added.
I have upped the logging level (which I may have done wrong!) and nothing
seems to get logged!
Could someone out there suggest what I am doing wrong?
I attatch the relevant files...
/etc/bind/named.conf
========================================
options {directory "/var/cache/bind"; };
logging {
channel file_level
{ file "/var/log/dns.temp.log" versions 3 size 20m;

};
category config { file_level; };
category parser { file_level; };
category update { file_level; };
category lame-servers { null; };
category cname { null; };
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};
zone "localhost" {

};
zone "255.in-addr.arpa" {

};
zone "dark"
{

};
};
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"
{
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.192.168.0";
allow-update
{
192.168.0.5;
localhost;
};
};
========================================
/etc/bind/db.dark
========================================
$ORIGIN .
dark 604800 IN A 192.168.0.0
604800 IN NS firewall.dark.

Hope someone can help?
Thanks
