Your chroot directory is not fully populated and getaddrinfo is failing as a result. named-checkzone tries to perform address lookups for MX targets by calling getaddrinfo for out of zone names and that uses getaddrinfo. You need to add /etc/resolv.conf and/or whatever your OS requires for getaddrinfo to work.
Whether lookup failures are fatal or not is controlled by command line options. See the man page. -- Mark Andrews > On 4 Feb 2022, at 04:56, Bruce Johnson via bind-users > <bind-users@lists.isc.org> wrote: > > I added a new zone to our domain today and ran named-checkzone and got the > following when it ran: > > named-checkzone -t /var/named/chroot Pharmacy.Arizona.EDU /etc/Pharmacy.Hosts > zone Pharmacy.Arizona.EDU/IN: getaddrinfo(xxxxxxx1.barracudanetworks.com) > failed: System error > zone Pharmacy.Arizona.EDU/IN: getaddrinfo(xxxxxxx2.barracudanetworks.com) > failed: System error > zone Pharmacy.Arizona.EDU/IN: loaded serial 1762233835 > OK > > These are our Barracuda cloud service addresses set as MX entries in the zone: > > ;MX records > ;pharmacy.arizona.edu. 3600 IN MX 99 > barracuda.pharmacy.arizona.edu. ;message exchangeer > pharmacy.arizona.edu. 3600 IN MX 10 > xxxxxxx1.barracudanetworks.com. > pharmacy.arizona.edu. 3600 IN MX 10 > xxxxxxx1.barracudanetworks.com. > > Mail is working and the OK at the end of the named-checkzone output indicates > that it thinks the zone file passes ok. > > I can resolve the actual addresses without an issue : > > dig d256777b.ess.barracudanetworks.com @elixir.pharmacy.arizona.edu > > ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> d256777b.ess.barracudanetworks.com > @elixir.pharmacy.arizona.edu > ;; global options: +cmd > ;; Got answer: > ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 3699 > ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 13, ADDITIONAL: 27 > > ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: > ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 > ;; QUESTION SECTION: > ;d256777b.ess.barracudanetworks.com.
