Questions about Lameness, and DNSSERVER of Squid

[Reuben Farrelly]

Hi,

I've just been browsing my system log under Redhat6.0 and notice three
statements in it which are obviously related to DNS resolution which I
don't quite understand.  I'm running Bind 8.2.1-t3b - no, not on a
mission critical machine, btw!


What does this mean?  Does it simply mean that the answer of one query
did not reverse match properly?

Jun 14 03:46:51 tornado named[22214]: wrong ans. name (www.getstats.com
!= www1-
pool.getstats.com)
Jun 14 03:46:51 tornado (dnsserver): gethostby*.getanswer: asked for
"www2-pool.
getstats.com", got "www1-pool.getstats.com"
Jun 14 03:46:51 tornado (dnsserver): gethostby*.getanswer: asked for
"www2-pool.
getstats.com", got "www1-pool.getstats.com"

DNSSERVER is most likely a dns process function of Squid as I am running
Squid on this machine.


And this as well - the only thing I can see wrong with this domain is
that it is delegated to two name servers, but querying those two gives
three listed as authoritative.  Is this the reason for this message?

Jun 14 03:46:56 tornado named[22214]: Lame server on
'www.dyn.national.com.au' (
in 'national.com.au'?): [139.130.4.5].53


And lastly,

Jun 14 02:08:49 tornado named[22214]: bad referral (NL !< vuurwerk.nl)

Have no idea off the top of my head what this one means ;)


Thanks,
Reuben
