I am a bit confused by DNAME's I had used them before but I may have used them wrong.
On windows 2008r2 I have some zone's where I create a DNAME for the root and point it to an A record. IE: zone bla.bla SOA <standard SOA> NS <mydns> DNAME www.bla.com where www.bla.com is an A record. the reason I was doing this is because www.bla.com has a dhcp assigned address and I want bla.bla to always point to it. windows dns does not allow a cname at the root of a zone. as of 2012r2 with updates this no longer works. So I decided to see what bind would do with DNAME If I tried a similar experiment I have a db.self file I used when I want certain outside addresses to point back to my inside addresses. my db.self file looks like so $TTL 3D @ 1D IN SOA ns jeffsadowski.gmail.com. ( 2017081201 ; 3H ; 15 ; 1w ; 3h ; ) @ IN NS ns ns IN A 192.168.1.252 @ IN A 192.168.1.252 And I wand similar for my DNAME so I created db.dname that looks like so $TTL 3D @ 1D IN SOA ns jeffsadowski.gmail.com. ( 2017081201 ; 3H ; 15 ; 1w ; 3h ; ) @ IN NS ns ns IN A 192.168.1.252 @ IN DNAME methanemaker.mooo.com then when I try and start bind I get error messages like so Nov 17 09:55:53 methanemaker bash[7049]: zone bla.bla/IN: NS 'ns.bla.bla' is below a DNAME 'bla.bla' (illegal) Nov 17 09:55:53 methanemaker bash[7049]: zone bla.bla/IN: not loaded due to errors. I tried without the NS likes and I get this message Nov 17 09:48:36 methanemaker bash[4872]: zone bla.bla/IN: has no NS records Nov 17 09:48:36 methanemaker bash[4872]: zone bla.bla/IN: not loaded due to errors. If anyone has a better idea how to map to a dhcp addressed machine from a zone I'd like to know? I don't want to recreate the entire superdomain for just one record that needs changed IE: the super domain is managed by an outside service. I don't want to keep a second copy inside that has a few with different records. _______________________________________________ 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
