Rockett15 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) Hi Guys, Just recently switch my home server from Win2K3 to Ubuntu. So far I am very happy with it, the only outstanding issue appears to be with the reverse lookup zone. Maybe a BIND guru here can help me out and spot the issue. This is the first time i've configured BIND - been using guides on the internet s go easy on me :) named.conf // This is the primary configuration file for the BIND DNS server named. // // Please read /usr/share/doc/bind9/README.Debian.gz for information on the // structure of BIND configuration files in Debian, *BEFORE* you customize // this configuration file. // // If you are just adding zones, please do that in /etc/bind/named.conf.local include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options"; // prime the server with knowledge of the root servers zone "." { type hint; file "/etc/bind/db.root"; }; // be authoritative for the localhost forward and reverse zones, and for // broadcast zones as per RFC 1912 zone "localhost" { type master; file "/etc/bind/named.conf.local"; }; zone "127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.127"; }; zone "0.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.0"; }; zone "255.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.255"; }; include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local"; named.conf.local // // Do any local configuration here // // Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your // organization //include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918"; zone "rrsj.lan" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/rrsj.lan.db"; }; zone "254.16.172.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.254.16.172.in-addr.arpa"; }; rrsj.lan.db rrsj.lan. IN SOA ns1.rrsj.lan. rrsj-fs-01.rrsj.lan. ( 2006081401 28800 3600 604800 38400 ) rrsj.lan. IN NS ns1.rrsj.lan. IN A 172.16.254.20 rrsj-mac-02 IN A 172.16.254.40 rrsj-epc-01 IN A 172.16.254.35 rrsj-lt-02 IN A 172.16.254.25 rrsj-fs-01 IN A 172.16.254.20 rrsj-lt-01 IN A 172.16.254.15 rrsj-mac-01 IN A 172.16.254.10 rrsj-gw-02 IN A 172.16.254.5 rev.254.16.172.in-addr.arpa @ IN SOA rrsj.lan. rrsj-fs-01.rrsj.lan. ( 2006081401 28800 604800 604800 86400 ) IN NS ns1.rrsj.lan. 20 IN PTR rrsj.lan. 5 IN PTR rrsj-gw-01.rrsj.lan. 10 IN PTR rrsj-mac-01.rrsj.lan. 15 IN PTR rrsj-lt-01.rrsj.lan. 20 IN PTR rrsj-fs-01.rrsj.lan. 25 IN PTR rrsj-lt-02.rrsj.lan. 30 IN PTR SPARE.rrsj.lan. 35 IN PTR rrsj-epc-01.rrsj.lan. 40 IN PTR rrsj-mac-02.rrsj.lan. Forward resolution works fine. However when I do an nslookup on an IP from my Mac I get the below (similar errors come from other boxes) RRSJ-MAC-01:~ srockett$ nslookup 172.16.254.10 ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 172.16.254.20, trying next server ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 172.16.254.20, trying next server Server: 172.16.254.5 Address: 172.16.254.5#53 ** server can't find 10.254.16.172.in-addr.arpa: SERVFAIL EDIT: semicolons removed from reverse lookup conf file.

+BudMan MVC Posted June 7, 2008 MVC Share Posted June 7, 2008 Well this is not right.. 2006081401; 28800; 604800; 604800; 86400 ); Where did all the semicolons come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockett15 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Interesting. Let me fix that and try it out :) Someone online evidently doesn't know how to use bind and is writing guides on how to set it up >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockett15 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Same thing. Thought we had it there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted June 8, 2008 MVC Share Posted June 8, 2008 Um did you restart bind after the change?? Ok what guide are you reading?? Yeah there was more wrong than just that -- here I just redid the zone files for you.. these work! @ IN SOA ns1.rrsj.lan. hostmaster.rrsj.lan. ( 2008060801 10800 3600 604800 86400 ) @ NS ns1.rrsj.lan. ns1 IN A 172.16.254.20 rrsj-mac-02 IN A 172.16.254.40 rrsj-epc-01 IN A 172.16.254.35 rrsj-lt-02 IN A 172.16.254.25 rrsj-lt-01 IN A 172.16.254.15 rrsj-mac-01 IN A 172.16.254.10 rrsj-gw-02 IN A 172.16.254.5 @ IN SOA ns1.rrsj.lan. hostmaster.rrsj.lan. ( 2008060801 10800 3600 604800 86400 ) @ NS ns1.rrsj.lan. 20 IN PTR ns1.rrsj.lan. 5 IN PTR rrsj-gw-01.rrsj.lan. 10 IN PTR rrsj-mac-01.rrsj.lan. 15 IN PTR rrsj-lt-01.rrsj.lan. 25 IN PTR rrsj-lt-02.rrsj.lan. 35 IN PTR rrsj-epc-01.rrsj.lan. 40 IN PTR rrsj-mac-02.rrsj.lan. It looked like your ns1 was .20 ?? Just adjust hosts as needed, remember to up your serial number on changes, etc. Please post to the guide your reading -- I want to take a look ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockett15 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 w00t. you rock. ^_^ Here is the guide: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Host...ntu-49585.shtml I may have butchered it a little from the original but it still has the same layout.
