Hi First up apologies if this is not the right list to email and for a long email. I am hoping you can give me a clue as to what I am doing wrong here? Or may be this is not supposed to work at all.
We have an internal only DNS server (dns1) with fake root zone. i.e a fake file for the zone "." This serves all internal clients. We are running 9.6-ESV-R11-P2 for this. And we also have an external only DNS (ns1) which can talk to the internet for DNS queries and serves external clients. Now we have a requirement to have certain domains (e.g sharepoint.com) resolved on clients being served by dns1. On dns1 I have setup a forward only zone called 'sharepoint.com' with ns1 set as the forwarder. And on the fake root zone file, I have added an entry for sharepoint like below sharepoint.com. NS ns1.org.domain.name.au. when i run a dig +trace sharepoint.com from dns1 I can resolve sharepoint.com But when i run it from an internal client it gets a Non-authoritative: No answer Below are my snippets of my named.conf on dns1 (internal) options { directory "/var/dns"; forwarders { ip.of.ns1; }; listen-on { ip.of.dns1; 127.0.0.1; }; query-source address ip.of.dns1; notify-source ip.of.dns1; transfer-source ip.of.dns1; allow-transfer { xxx.xxx/16; }; transfer-format one-answer; // BIND9 (deal with Windows Server 2003) }; <.....> zone "." in { type master; file "fake/root"; }; zone "." in { type hint; file "/var/dns/fake/named.root"; }; zone "sharepoint.com." in { type forward; forward only; forwarders {ip.of.ns1;}; }; The file fake/root has entries like below (ip and domain names changed for security) $TTL 86400 ; NOTE: TTL based on from Bind8 SOA record ; ; This file contains *fake* DNS Resource Records for the root domain (.) ; .
