[Fwd: Strange named-checkzone behaviour] - error found

[Urban Loesch]

Hi,

I found the error.
named-checkzone checks if the reverse Record (PTR) mail.enas.net 
(195.254.235.67) is the same as the A Record.
If not, it reports an error that mail.enas.net is a CNAME and that is 
illegal. The PTR-Record of 195.254.235.67 is "dns.enas.net".

If I change the MX to dns.enas.net I receive the following from 
named-checkzone:

# named-checkzone ultental.eu db.ultental.eu
zone ultental.eu/IN: loaded serial 2006120701
OK

Thanks
Urban

Hi,

I will use named-checkzone to check the right syntax etc. of my zonefiles.

Today I tried it out an I see the following error:

# named-checkzone ultental.eu /var/named/var/named/master/db.ultental.eu
zone ultental.eu/IN: ultental.eu/MX 'mail.enas.net' (out of zone) is a
CNAME (illegal)
zone ultental.eu/IN: loaded serial 2006120701
OK

named-checkzone reports that "mail.enas.net" is a CNAME and thats
illegal in MX-Records. But the RRs "mail.enas.net" is not a CNAME. It's
a usual A-Record.

Zonefile of ultental.eu:
$TTL 1d

Dig for mail.enas.net reports.

I use BIND 9.4.0b4.

Version of "named-checkzone" = 9.4.0b4

Have you any Idea why named-checkzone reports me that error?

Thanks and regards
