I'm having a problem with Split-DNS server running on a single machine
(Redhat Linux 7.1) where the external server is able to resolve names
for domains it is authoritative for but is unable to query any other
root servers. If I remove the forwarder directive for the internal
servers & use internal server as my primary DNS server, it can easily
resolve & query all external domain names.
If I try to use the query source directive for the external name server
& provide it a query source IP address, I see the error " could not get
query source dispatcher " & the name server is still unable to contact
the other root name servers. I have the root.named file in the external
name server directory & have the corresponding zone info in the
named.conf file.
I fail to understand why the external name server is unable to talk to
the root name server . Any suggestions/ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashwiin.
