RE: ** server can't find barcelonamedia.org.barcelonamedia.org: SERVFAIL

Hello,

Finally solved. Thank to all of you, and specially Holger Honert.

I'm using bind with chroot, so there was some different stuff in where to put 
the logs. 
Also there was a dot missing on my PTR.


Now I have this on my named.conf.options to let me have underscores:

check-names master ignore;
check-names slave  ignore;



And I have this on my named.conf

logging {
channel named_log {
file "/var/log/named.log" versions 5 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
channel security_log {
file "/var/log/security.log" versions 5 size 5m;
severity debug ;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
channel update_log {
file "/var/log/update.log" versions 5 size 5m;
severity debug ;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
channel notify_log {
file "/var/log/notify.log" versions 5 size 5m;
severity debug ;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
channel query_log {
file "/var/log/query.log" versions 10 size 5m;
severity debug ;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
category default {named_log; };
category security {security_log; };
category update {update_log; };
category update-security {update_log; };
category notify {notify_log; };
category queries {query_log; };
category lame-servers { null; };
};


Thanks to all of you.

"bind9" script: the "status" operand basically just passes back the 
results of a "status_of_proc" call. status_of_proc appears to be a 
Debian-ism, I can't easily find any info on it, but presumably there's 
something misconfigured on your system, so that status_of_proc can't 
find the "named" process. The "force-reload" operand, in contrast, uses 
rndc, and that appears to be working fine. Talk to a Debian expert about 
what might be wrong with status_of_proc.

"named.conf": there's nothing about logging in that named.conf, and the 
zone definitions are totally generic (hints file, localhost,  
127.in-addr.arpa, 0.in-addr.arpa and 255.in-addr.arpa). However, there 
are a couple of subsidiary config files "include"d into this one -- 
named.conf.options (which might potentially contain your logging 
configuration) and named.conf.local (which might contain zone definitions).

By the way, did you follow the advice in this comment:

// Please read /usr/share/doc/bind9/README.Debian.gz for information on the
// structure of BIND configuration files in Debian, *BEFORE* you customize
// this configuration file.

?

Not a good plan.  Those checks are in there for a reason, namely that 
underscores are invalid in host names.  Whilst you can make your 
nameservers accept them you can't legislate for other software which 
might take a less liberal view.  Better to eliminate the underscores. 

Note that the restriction on underscores does not apply to the entries 
in some special purpose domains such as SRV records and DKIM entries, 
just to hostnames - mostly A and PTR records.
