DNS HOWTO - rulez!
I had to correct server having very strange and incomprehensible configured bind (named). Starting with uncommon serial number for zones and timeouts adn ending with absence 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa zone and chronic errors like
Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server
during some of zones resolving. After long picking the problem went.
What I made:
- edited /etc/resolv.conf in order to rejection dead servers
- edited named.conf - add PTR and appropriate zone file for 127.0.0.0/8 (i think main problem was here) and few other minor improvement
- knocked all zone files into shape
- ooooohh….
Great thanks to:
