Hi
Primary Internal DNS is BIND 8.11
Secondary internal DNS is BIND 4.x
External DNS is BIND 8.23
Only 1 zone.
There has been no changes to DNS in recent times except adding
and removing hosts which is routine. All of a sudden, our
internal network/users who are configured to use our Internal
DNS to go out to the Internet start complaining about losing
access. I can get to these sites by IP and not by name. On the
internal DNS, when I do a nslookup on say yahoo.com, I get a
request timed out. Same with dig. nslookup on internal hosts
works fine. On the external, nslookup works fine. The internal
primary DNS is configured to make use of the external as
forwarder. Secy internal DNS is fine. I have no idea why
forwarding stops. The only way I can resolve this problem is to
kill in.named on the internal and re-start it. I have done this
5 times. The problem goes away and comes back at random
intervals. I have bounced both internal and external
DNS. /var/adm/messages on internal shows unapproved updates and
on external about "some DNS server running on an interface".
Both these messages are common and I have been living with
it. I am lost totally lost. Pl. help.
Sincerely
Ragu
