From a DNS perspective, You may or may not get an error in reload. I  
have seen both cases where I do a lookup and get an ip.


I have seen cases where the DNS server will complain.

From a MTA's (receiving email server) perspective, a good deal of  
email will be rejected.  I believe Exim out of the box will reject the  
mail.


I reject by my choice in my configuration.

Further, the MX must also point specifically to an A record.

I hope that helps.

bind as slave DNS to windows AD dns server

2009-05-21 Thread Aleksander Kamenik

Hi,

I'm trying to setup BIND named to be a slave a MS Windows 2008 server's 
AD domain.


I set it up to be the slave and it works fine and I can resolv A records 
from the domain on the slave bind. However I can't resolve some SRV 
records like


_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DOMAIN

Without this functionality a windows PC is unable to connect to the 
windows domain.


At first it looked like the Windows DNS server gave BIND a partial zone 
file. Later after some googling I realized it has something to do with 
dynamic updates which I don't know how to set up and am not familiar with.


Most google replies deal with setting up bind as the master server. Is 
it at all possible for BIND to act as a slave and forward the SRV 
updates to the master? If so, please point me to relevant documentation.


Regards,

What zones are you slaving on your BIND server?  There should be six:

 DomainDNSZones.example.com
 ForestDNSZones.example.com
 _msdcs.example.com
 _sites.example.com
 _tcp.example.com
 _udp.example.com

If you have these six zones slaved on your BIND server, and these zones
are being transferred successfully, then there should be no problems.
See the archives of this list, where there have been many
BIND/AD-related postings over the past years.

I am not sure what you mean?  The Windows Domain Controllers will send
any SRV updates to the Windows DNS Server, if the AD structure is
properly configured.  Client machine might ask your BIND servers for
SRV information, but the DCs should not be sending dynamic DNS updates
to your BIND slave for SRV records.

Note 1: 10.1.3.0/24 and 10.1.4.0/24 are not subnets of 10.0.0.0/16.  Did 
you mean 10.1.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/8?

You should put in proper delegations for 3.1.10.in-addr.arpa and 
4.1.10.in-addr.arpa.  Typically you'd do it like this if you're using 
10.1.0.0/16:


; in zone 1.10.in-addr.arpa
$TTL ...
@  IN SOA ...

@  IN NS 
@  IN NS 

3  IN NS 
3  IN NS 

4  IN NS 
4  IN NS 

; rest of content for 1.10.in-addr.arpa


or like this if you're using 10.0.0.0/8:


; in zone 10.in-addr.arpa
$TTL ...
@  IN SOA ...

@  IN NS 
@  IN NS 

3.1  IN NS 
3.1  IN NS 

4.1  IN NS 
4.1  IN NS 

; rest of content for 10.in-addr.arpa

for example,

# dig vip.online2.sh.cn mx +short
10 218.1.71.125.

  

It's syntactically valid.

But, since there is no "125" top-level domain, or, obviously, any 
subdomains of of that domain, semantically it's incorrect.


To put it another way, it's a correctly-formed record, pointing at 
something that doesn't exist.


It's also a flag that expresses "hey everybody, I don't know how to edit 
zone files properly!".

Ok, understood. I had only example.com slaved, turns out I have to get
the subdomains instead. I'll try this when I get to work. Thanks!
