By re-delegate do you mean at the Registrars and ISPs? If so and if you have more than one DNS server for redundancy (as you should) then you can replace one server at a time using the same name/IP on the new server as on the old server. When we did this a few years back we simply moved the n

I'd like to reinforce what Chris said, and recommend the use of an internal root zone for networks/enterprises which have no public Internet connectivity, or whose connectivity to the Internet is exclusively through application-level proxies. Don't make Internet names resolvable on your interna

2011-04-20 Thread Ben Croswell
I believe your original issue is due to the fact that you are sending a recursive query via the forward to a device you said won't do recursive queries. The cname you are asking for is not in the domain hosted by the second server. Since it won't do recursive queries it won't resolve the end point

Hi I am having a strange problem and I'm not sure if i am hitting a bug or expected behaviour. Server A on 10.1.1.1 is running BIND 9.7.0-P2-RedHat-9.7.0-5.P2.el6_0.1 on RHEL6. It is acting as a recursor for its clients and also has a number of forward zones configured as follows: zone "testdoma

Hello all, We have a couple of BIND 8 DNS servers that we want to decommission, obviously we need to migrate the domains to other DNS servers first, which ordinarily involves zone transfer and domain re-delegation. However, we do not have control over a lot of the domains (think hundreds) on the B
