Mark,
Here is the info you requested. It's been a bit of a delay getting
back, but other things keep cropping up. (NB Any weird line breaks
have probly been put in by google groups!) Ok, so here is the main
file, which is referenced in the zone statement. This just pulls in
details from other files by various includes.
$INCLUDE /usr/local/packages/bind/etc/static/Header
$INCLUDE /usr/local/packages/bind/etc/static/Servers
$INCLUDE /usr/local/packages/bind/etc/static/Services
$INCLUDE /usr/local/packages/bind/etc/static/Mis
$INCLUDE /usr/local/packages/bind/etc/static/Cad
The Header is a generic Header, it's probably frowned upon but it works
for us here. We don't have a huge number of zones so reloading the
whole show after an update isn't an issue. The contents of the Header
is basically the SOA record and NS,MX records, as shown below.
$TTL 1d ; 1 day
@ IN SOA dns1.coventry.ac.uk. ccx264.coventry.ac.uk. (
2006041101 ; serial
1h ; refresh (1 hours)
15m ; retry (30 minutes)
1w ; expire (1 week)
1d ; minimum TTL (1 day)
)
IN NS dns1.coventry.ac.uk.
IN NS dns2.coventry.ac.uk.
IN NS dns3.coventry.ac.uk.
IN NS dns4.coventry.ac.uk.
IN NS ns3.ja.net.
MX 0 icritical2.coventry.ac.uk.
MX 0 icritical1.coventry.ac.uk.
Then we have the Server file for the hosts in the coventry.ac.uk
domain. This loads fine. A few of the hosts are shown here to
demonstrate how this file is laid out..
@ IN A 193.61.107.79
ntp0 IN CNAME dns1
ntp1 IN CNAME dns2
ntp2 IN CNAME webcache1
ntp3 IN CNAME webcache2
hillman IN CNAME print1
staffnet2 IN A 193.61.107.2
staffnet1 IN A 193.61.107.3
webct1 IN A 193.61.107.4
webct2 IN A 193.61.107.5
Then we have a subdomain for mis.coventry.ac.uk. This is in the same
zone, so it is uploaded to our offsite dns when they transfer the
coventry.ac.uk zone.
$ORIGIN mis
mis.coventry.ac.uk. MX 2 zappa.mis.coventry.ac.uk.
n234-2 IN A 194.66.45.1
n321b-lec IN A 194.66.45.2
n307-1 IN A 194.66.45.127
n16-4 IN A 194.66.45.165
However, this zone gives the following errors in syslog when the server
reloads it's data. However, the data is loaded OK and gives resolvable
addresses, so the errors actually appear to be superfluous.
Apr 10 15:16:32 dns1 named[10124]: general: warning:

(n307-1.mis.mis.coventry.ac.uk)
The we have another subdomain, services.coventry.ac.uk, again in the
same zone as coventry.ac.uk.
$ORIGIN services
smtp IN CNAME smtp1.coventry.ac.uk.
imap IN CNAME imap2.coventry.ac.uk.
pop IN CNAME imap2.coventry.ac.uk.
and again we have similar out-of-zone data messages:
Apr 10 15:16:49 dns1 named[10124]: general: warning:
/usr/local/packages/bind/etc/static/Services:85: ignoring out-of-zone

/usr/local/packages/bind/etc/static/Services:86: ignoring out-of-zone
data (directory.services.services.cov
entry.ac.uk)
and finally we have a cad subdomain at cad.coventry.ac.uk:
$ORIGIN cad
cad.coventry.ac.uk. MX 0
icritical2.coventry.ac.uk.
cad.coventry.ac.uk. MX 0
icritical1.coventry.ac.uk.
ic2-18-5 IN A 194.66.57.14
ic2-12-1 IN A 194.66.57.1
ic2-12-2 IN A 194.66.57.2
ic2-20-1 IN A 194.66.57.3
ic2-17-1 IN A 194.66.57.4
ic2-22-1 IN A 194.66.57.5
ic2-21-1 IN A 194.66.57.6
and the out of zone data error messages.
Apr 10 15:16:46 dns1 named[10124]: general: warning:

Apr 10 15:16:46 dns1 named[10124]: general: warning:

(ic2-12-1.cad.cad.coventry.ac.uk)
As I said, all of these subdomains load and function correctly. A
named-checkzone gives no errors, and the messages only started
happening after upgrading from the binaries from bind-9.2.3 to
bind-9.3.2. I assume it is doing more checking somewhere, but it would
be nice to get it tidy as it takes longer to load as it writes all the
messages to the log files.
thanks
