Hi all, I'm new to configuring DNS. I believe my set up is simple.
I have ftp, mail, dns, and www on the same machine. Can anyone check out my log file and two zone files.
This page has the files http://www.gotopinion.info/linux/index.html
Please e-mail me recommendations.
First of all, add a link to your /etc/named.conf.
The log file shows two bogus zones each with serial 42.
zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 42 255.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 42
Your /etc/named.conf file should show why this is happening.
In your ironworks.zone file you have an entry for "localhost". This will end up being localhost.ironworks.com which probably is not what you want. Put localhost in its own zone. A typical localhost zone looks like this:
$TTL 86400 $ORIGIN localhost. @ 1D IN SOA @ root ( 42 ; serial (d. adams) 3H ; refresh 15M ; retry 1W ; expiry 1D ) ; minimum
1D IN NS @ 1D IN A 127.0.0.1
Next, in the ironworks.zone file "localhost", "linux", "mail", "ns1", "www", and "ftp" have leading whitespace. They should be smack up against the left margin. This is what is causing the RR error message:
dns_master_load: ironworks.zone:13: unknown RR type 'localhost'
Try these changes, add a link to /etc/named.conf, and tell us what happened. -- Jim
