Hello, I have a problem resolving "manage.logicboxes.com" with bind. I tried versions 9.7.3, 9.7.1-P2 and 9.6-ESV-R1, all of them return a SERVFAIL with a pretty long query time :
; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2 <<>> manage.logicboxes.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 13208 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;manage.logicboxes.com. IN A ;; Query time: 1246 msec Same error with "+cd" (there are no DS or signatures anywhere in the related zones anyway, except for .com) But "dig +trace" returns the correct CNAME as an answer : manage.logicboxes.com. 14400 IN CNAME www.myorderbox.com. as do every authoritative NS when querying them separately. Also, bind resolves the CNAME itself. Here are some debug messages, I am not sure what they exactly mean (particularly the "failure/success" part) : 30-Jun-2011 10:25:23.586 query-errors: debug 1: client 192.168.1.125#45637: query failed (SERVFAIL) for manage.logicboxes.com/IN/A at query.c:4651 30-Jun-2011 10:25:23.587 query-errors: debug 2: fetch completed at resolver.c:3088 for manage.logicboxes.com/A in 1.247324: failure/success [domain:logicboxes.com,referral:0,restart:2,qrysent:12,timeout:0,lame:0,neterr:0,badresp:12,adberr:0,findfail:0,valfail:0] Some other resolvers (opendns, google) return the expected answer : ; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2 <<>> manage.logicboxes.com @8.8.8.8 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 8347 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;manage.logicboxes.com. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: manage.logicboxes.com. 12110 IN CNAME www.myorderbox.com. www.myorderbox.com. 84110 IN A 67.15.47.4 Is bind less tolerant about some kind of setup mistake (which I don't get, anyway) ? I checked "logicboxes.com" with zonecheck, which fails because the NS IP addresses are not unique (and also some warnings about refresh/retry values and NS not answering to ICMP requests) but I don't think that explains my problem. Last question : is it OK that the primary server in the SOA field is just "." ? logicboxes.com. 86400 IN SOA . hostmaster.logicboxes.com. 6 900 300 864000 600 Thanks for helping Laurent _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
