RE: about the dig

2011-07-19 Thread Marc Lampo
With "+trace" it still needs to know the list of root name servers to get 
started.
Since that list is not built-in, it has to ask the local caching name 
server;
as configured per /etc/resolv.conf ...

(the list cannot be built-in, because some organisations work with an 
internal
 root.  The local caching name server is the only one to know those "new" 
root's.)

Kind regards,

Marc Lampo

at least from my point "dig hostname +trace" should work even if there
is no resolv.conf entries.

BIND 9 has the built-in root list.

I am very interested in hearing what you are looking for.  I have some
thoughts about "performance" measurements, mostly to answer the age-old
question, "Are my servers working well?"

Would you release the patches, and if so, would you be willing to work
with the ISC BIND 9 team to see if we can find common ground and perhaps
get your patches into BIND 9 releases quickly?

No.

"dig" is a test tool. It is not a recursive resolver. It does not 
contain a list of root hints, and always starts a query at a nameserver 
you give it, either explicitly via the @server command line, or 
implicitly via /etc/resolv.conf


Even when doing +trace.

Authoritative server cannot cache anser from itself. Cache is for 
answers a server has received from somewhere,  while authoritative

I don't think so.
BIND 9 has the built-in root list.


BIND is the name of a collection of DNS related software and consists of 
many pieces, which named and dig are but two of them.  To the best of my 
knowledge, only named has a root list built-in, which can be overwritten 
by the proper use of config directives in named.conf.

In general, it creates no problem.  If you happen to use an RR for which
support was added in 9.5, then you might have odd results.

No.  It's not even mandatory that the primary and secondary both be running
bind.

Re: about the dig

Feng:

I think G.W is pointing out that in the absence of resolv.conf, dig uses
the localhost to connect
to the bind server.  Just tcpdump the loopback interface, and you will
see it.

So the reason resolution works is because you are running bind on that
server.  It would not work
on any client which isn't running bind.

We generally put the entry in so we know where our DNS requests are
going, the loopback or
a real interface.  In doesn't have to be that way, you don't have to use
the bind server on
the box itself.

It is not even mandatory for all the authoritative name servers to run

RE: about the dig

2011-07-19 Thread Lightner, Jeff
Or as previously pointed out it WILL work if you specify a name server at 
invocation.

That is to say you MUST either do "dig @..." OR have a resolve.conf 
that specifies servers to attempt if not specified at invocation.   (And before 
anyone else says it - You can of course still specify a server at invocation to 
bypass the ones in /etc/resolv.conf.)

I hope so, because that's the correct behavior. Dell's nameserver is broken:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4074
Common Misbehavior Against DNS Queries for IPv6 Addresses - May 2005
4.2.  Return "Name Error"

   This type of server returns a response with RCODE 3 ("Name Error") to
   a query for an  RR, indicating that it does not have any RRs of
   any type for the queried name.

   With this response, the stub resolver may immediately give up and
   never fall back.  Even if the resolver retries with a query for an A
   RR, the negative response for the name has been cached in the caching
   server, and the caching server will simply return the negative
   response.  As a result, the stub resolver considers this to be a
   fatal error in name resolution.

fpdns says that Dell's servers are BIND, wonder if that's accurate, and if so, 
how ancient a release, to have this bug?

Re: AAAA type query invalidates A records in name server cache

2011-07-19 Thread Tim Maestas
This is because Dell has incorrectly configured their F5 GTM load
balancers to return NXDOMAIN on a  query instead of NOERROR (this
is configurable on a per-wideip basis in the GTM configuration - at
least in present versions.  In earlier versions you had to ensure that
you had a record of some type matching the wideip name in the BIND
configuration so that when the GTM passed the query back to BIND it
would return NOERROR).

All ok.

ns11:~ # nslookup -querytype= xserv.ins.dell.com.
.
** server can't find xserv.ins.dell.com.: NXDOMAIN

Now even the A queries fail.

ns11:~ # nslookup -querytype=A xserv.ins.dell.com.
.
** server can't find xserv.ins.dell.com.: NXDOMAIN

Keeps failing until TTL timeout or rndc flushname xserv.ins.dell.com.

Yes, we had this reported last month (for premier.dell.co.uk which
CNAME chains to vandom.ins.dell.com, but the effect is exactly the same).

We reported it to dnsad...@dell.com on 28 June. Deafening silence.

They should be returning "nodata" rather than NXDOMAIN for the 
query, of course.

Re: sort list and view

Hi,

I have the below scenario

_TCP.EXAMPLE.COMIN SRV1005060primary-sbg.example.com
_TCP.EXAMPLE.COMIN SRV2005060
secondary-sbg.example.com


I have 2 IP ranges and 2 SBGs host, my intention is

for client in IP range1
primary-sbg  INA1.1.1.1
secondary-sbgINA2.2.2.2

for client in IP range2
primary-sbg  INA2.2.2.2
secondary-sbgINA1.1.1.1

can this be achieved without using a views?

I thought this can be solved just by a sortlist, where
primary-sbgINA1.1.1.1
primary-sbgINA2.2.2.2
secondary-sbgINA2.2.2.2
secondary-sbgINA1.1.1.1

and then introduce the sortlist, which sorts the position of IP 
addresses based on the IP range client comes from?

something like,

sortlist {
{
 IPRANGE1;  // 1st client IP selection matches any of these
 {1.1.1.1;   // return any of these response IPs as 1st preference
 };
{
 IPRANGE2;  // 1st client IP selection matches any of these
 {2.2.2.2;   // return any of these response IPs as 1st preference
 };
};

but in this case,
client from IPRANGE1 receive 1.1.1.1 as a first choice for both 
primary-sbg and secondary-sbg

and
client from IPRANGE2 receive 2.2.2.2 as a first choice for both 
primary-sbg and secondary-sbg

which is not the intention. sortlist doesn't not  consider domain name.
The intention is to have primary SBG for first iprange act as a 
secondary SBG for the second ip range and vice verse and in similar 
manner for multiple IP ranges and SBGs. Problem with views is that 
anytime this setup gets bigger and we will have additional ip ranges 
and additional SBGs, it will require additional views...


(LOC)RANGEPRIMARY(LOC)   SECONDARY(LOC)
(L1)IPRANGE1  SBG1(L1)   SBG6(L2)
(L1)IPRANGE2  SBG2(L1)   SBG7(L2)
(L1)IPRANGE3  SBG3(L1)   SBG8(L2)
(L1)IPRANGE4  SBG4(L1)   SBG9(L2)
(L1)IPRANGE5  SBG5(L1)   SBG10(L2)

(L2)IPRANGE6  SBG6(L2)   SBG1(L1)
(L2)IPRANGE7  SBG7(L2)   SBG2(L1)
(L2)IPRANGE8  SBG8(L2)   SBG3(L1)
(L2)IPRANGE9  SBG9(L2)   SBG4(L1)
(L2)IPRANGE10 SBG10(L2)  SBG5(L1)

half of the SBGs is in one location (L1) and half in other (L2), 
that's why it is important that for clients from ranges in one 
location, first half of SBGs is preferred, and for other clients from 
second location other half of SBGs is preferred. Client configuration 
should be uniformed (same SRV) regardless the location.
Are you over-engineering this? If the A-record failover by your client 
is fast enough you might only need 1 SRV record, and then sortlisting 
will work fine (subject to the usual caveats: as long as you can control 
the sortlist config of every resolver your clients will use, and keep 
them in sync).

Re: sort list and view

2011-07-19 Thread AMANI M. BIN SUWAIF

Hi,

The problem is that fail-over between A records is not standard and 
might/might not work with various SIP clients. On the other hand SRV in 
my opinion has been designed with that in mind, that's why the 
additional complexity with 2 SRV records.



Thanks & Regards,

*Amani*

Help with an error

2011-07-19 Thread Vignesh Gadiyar
Hi guys,
I recently implemented an ordering of my own by providing an option similar
to random and cyclic in the 'towiresorted' function and setting that order
in the named.conf file by using rrset-order. The named binary is running
fine and giving me the correct result while i use dig for eg. dig
www.abcd.com. But while compiling using 'make' it gives me an error saying
"undefined reference to 'my_function' " and "Leaving directory
'bind-9.8.0-P2/bin/dig' ". What may be wrong over here? Kindly help..

Regards,
Vignesh.
