Bind9.5.1 under no Root Name Servers

2009-07-17 Thread Martin McCormick
What does bind9.5.1 do when there is an Internet issue and we loose all root name servers? The bind9.3.x we had been running always began producing tons of lines saying that there were no more recursive clients. I had written a program that looked for the time stamp when the mess starts an

2009-07-17 Thread Todd Snyder
Martin, It looks like you were relying on an odd mechanism to determine an outage. What you were seeing is the server filling up all the available recursive "slots" because they weren't getting answered, backing up the queue. It wasn't necessarily an indication of an outage, it could have meant

SPF record Syntax

2009-07-17 Thread Martin McCormick
I found a couple of great articles that explain SPF records but not quite far enough. I am in a syntax war with nsupdate as the examples appear to show everything but how the actual record looks. They appear to be like many other RR's so I tried update add posse.okstate.edu. 10 IN SPF "v=

A person wrote me off list to say that it worked for them. I went to a different FreeBSD platform that happens to be the actual one that hosts our DNS and tried it there and it worked perfectly. I even verified that it is in the zone. So, what we have is a broken system on the one I usuall

RR type SPF *is* the recommended way. SPF RR was ratified some time ago, any modern resolver knows about it. If you are using an outdated resolver system that spits errors on that, that's hardly any ones fault but your own. However the suggested method at present is to run the TXT as well, becau
