Hi there,
Can anyone help? I finally managed to configure bind on Windows and it seems to be working ok but most of the external addresses (i.e. yahoo.com, google.com etc) do not resolve. The crazy thing is .. some I can browser with firefox but NOT many, i.e. experts-exchange.com, linux.derkeiler.com work OK I presume its working off some kind of cache. What I did do was downloaded the named.root file and placed it in etc (see my named.conf for config "." Zone - I have placed after this). I think the issue is with the root servers not resolving as I ran a trace using dig and get this back . even for experts-exchange.com (which resolves in firefox), I am really lost. Heres the output from dig using the +trace . and here is my named.conf . Any help really appreciated, basically my idea is .. to check if the domain exists locally and if not forward to another dns server to have it resolved C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dns\bin>dig +trace experts-exchange.com ; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2-W2 <<>> +trace experts-exchange.com ;; global options: printcmd .. 3600000 IN NS H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. .. 3600000 IN NS F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ;; Received 228 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) in 39 ms dig: couldn't get address for 'E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET': not found C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dns\bin> options { directory "c:\windows\SysWOW64\dns\etc"; version "not currently available"; pid-file "run\named.pid"; allow-transfer { none; }; recursion no; forwarders { 208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220; }; forward only; }; logging{ channel my_log{ file "log\named.log" versions 3 size 250k; severity info; }; category default{ my_log; }; }; zone "." { type hint; file "named.root"; }; zone "mylocalemail.com" IN { type master; file "zones\db.mylocalemail.com.txt"; allow-transfer { none; }; }; key "rndc-key" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "whaaa2JlhJJFWWDQbaGSSA3BA=="; }; controls { inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; }; };
