Re: Dig, open servers and A records (Steven Carr) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 05 Apr 2015 09:32:36 +0100 From: Stephen Eyre <sce...@btinternet.com> To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Dig, open servers and A records Message-ID: <5520f324.7050...@btinternet.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Dear All The good news is that I have my server running. The not so good news is that there are a few problems which could be interconnected. My server is called server1.sportshost.co.uk and its ip address is 84.92.56.54. Going on to whatsmydns.net I find that sportshost.co.uk returns suitable entries under the NS and SOA section. There are nothing but red crosses under A records section - I was expecting my ip address. Then when I dig a domain name like google.co.uk I get suitable replies but when I dig an ip address like 8.8.8.8 the request gets the reply REFUSED. Further enquiries show that I dont have an open recursive site when the errors above still apply. When I change my /etc/bind/named.conf.local file from 'recursion no;' to 'recursion yes;' I get an inverse of the above. I get full replies from all my dig enquiries but I get an open recursive warning - which I obviously dont want. whatsmydns.net replies remain the same. So todays question is - what do I need to do to keep my server closed, get proper dig replies and get my A records showing up on whatsmydns.net? Or is everything working well and its not necessary to have dig providing proper replies?

Try again, you haven't given things enough time to propagate around the internet, 24-72 hours is still the usual wait time. > So todays question is - what do I need to do to keep my server closed, get > proper dig replies and get my A records showing up on whatsmydns.net? What is the purpose of the server? are you going to be hosting zones that need to be accessible from other clients on the Internet (authoritative) or is it just a DNS server that you can utilize to handle your queries (recursive)? or are you doing both? If you need recursion then you'll need an ACL to say which clients are allowed to perform recursion to prevent it from being an open recursor.
