Hi, I started to get these messages, when some secondary tries to fetch a zonefile from a primary. So I looked into it -
The primary is running: # ps ax | grep named 13667 - IsJ 0:00.39 /usr/local/sbin/named -n 1 -u bind -c /usr/local/etc/namedb/named.conf It has ports configured: listen-on port 53 { 192.168.97.24; }; listen-on-v6 port 53 { fd00::118; }; And it seems to listen on these ports: tcp6 0 0 fd00::118.53 *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 192.168.97.24.53 *.* LISTEN udp6 0 0 fd00::118.53 *.* udp4 0 0 192.168.97.24.53 *.* When I open a telnet from a neighbouring node, it looks like this: pmc@disp:511:1~$ telnet 192.168.97.24 53 Trying 192.168.97.24... Connected to admn-e.intra.daemon.contact. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. That is what I would normally expect. However, when I do the same from the node that hosts a secondary nameserver, this happens: operator@pole:~ $ telnet 192.168.97.24 53 Trying 192.168.97.24... telnet: connect to address 192.168.97.24: Operation timed out telnet: Unable to connect to remote host One would now assume a network issue. But there is none. These packets do arrive at the primary, only the socket doesn't do anything with them. This is the working connection from the neighbour node: # tcpdump -xxninadmn1l 20:40:01.604840 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.97.24 tell 192.168.97.18, length 46 0x0000: ffff ffff ffff 061d 9201 0222 0806 0001 0x0010: 0800 0604 0001 061d 9201 0222 c0a8 6112 0x0020: 0000 0000 0000 c0a8 6118 0000 0000 0000 0x0030: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 20:40:01.604913 ARP, Reply 192.168.97.24 is-at 06:1d:92:01:01:05, length 28 0x0000: 061d 9201 0222 061d 9201 0105 0806 0001 0x0010: 0800 0604 0002 061d 9201 0105 c0a8 6118 0x0020: 061d 9201 0222 c0a8 6112 20:40:01.604993 IP 192.168.97.18.64497 > 192.168.97.24.53: Flags [S], seq 1911977491, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale 6,sackOK,TS val 3668593643 ecr 0], length 0 0x0000: 061d 9201 0105 061d 9201 0222 0800 4510 0x0010: 003c 0000 4000 4006 f730 c0a8 6112 c0a8 0x0020: 6118 fbf1 0035 71f6 7613 0000 0000 a002 0x0030: ffff f9be 0000 0204 05b4 0103 0306 0402 0x0040: 080a daaa 4beb 0000 0000 20:40:01.605033 IP 192.168.97.24.53 > 192.168.97.18.64497: Flags [S.], seq 1403100325, ack 1911977492, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale 6,sackOK,TS val 244552087 ecr 3668593643], length 0 0x0000: 061d 9201 0222 061d 9201 0105 0800 4500 0x0010: 003c 0000 4000 4006 f740 c0a8 6118 c0a8 0x0020: 6112 0035 fbf1 53a1 9ca5 71f6 7614 a012 0x0030: ffff 693c 0000 0204 05b4 0103 0306 0402 0x0040: 080a 0e93 9197 daaa 4beb And this is the connection from the secondary nameserver: 20:40:56.717735 IP 192.168.99.1.41219 > 192.168.97.24.53: Flags [S], seq 3201504914, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale 6,sackOK,TS val 67229358 ecr 0], length 0 0x0000: 061d 9201 0105 061d 9201 0202 0800 4510 0x0010: 003c 0000 4000 3e06 f741 c0a8 6301 c0a8 0x0020: 6118 a103 0035 bed3 1692 0000 0000 a002 0x0030: ffff e396 0000 0204 05b4 0103 0306 0402 0x0040: 080a 0401 d6ae 0000 0000 20:40:57.717784 IP 192.168.99.1.41219 > 192.168.97.24.53: Flags [S], seq 3201504914, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale 6,sackOK,TS val 67230358 ecr 0], length 0 0x0000: 061d 9201 0105 061d 9201 0202 0800 4510 0x0010: 003c 0000 4000 3e06 f741 c0a8 6301 c0a8 0x0020: 6118 a103 0035 bed3 1692 0000 0000 a002 0x0030: ffff dfae 0000 0204 05b4 0103 0306 0402 0x0040: 080a 0401 da96 0000 0000 20:40:59.917842 IP 192.168.99.1.41219 > 192.168.97.24.53: Flags [S], seq 3201504914, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale 6,sackOK,TS val 67232558 ecr 0], length 0 0x0000: 061d 9201 0105 061d 9201 0202 0800 4510 0x0010: 003c 0000 4000 3e06 f741 c0a8 6301 c0a8 0x0020: 6118 a103 0035 bed3 1692 0000 0000 a002 0x0030: ffff d716 0000 0204 05b4 0103 0306 0402 0x0040: 080a 0401 e32e 0000 0000 Packets do arrive, but are ignored. The local firewall is switched to pass-thru. I don't know what else could selectively swallow packets without notice. The good thing is, it swallows only IPv4, and since I have both configured everywhere, things should still work. But the error messages are annoying. cheerio, PMc -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
