bind skips delegation record in master zone
Hi,
We have an NT4 DNS server
hosting a zone for domain "foo" and a Bind
slave server for that zone. Everything is working fine except
that, if
in the zone I add an NS record for bar.foo to delegate it to
a third
DNS server like:
bar.foo. NS c001.foo.
Then for some unknown reason the Bind server will silent skip
this
record during zone transfer. That is, I checked the zone file
for "foo"
on the Bind server and that record was not there. Is there anything
that I can check?
Is this BIND 8, and is the nameserver also a slave for the child
zone?
BIND 8 had problems distinguishing the NS records "above"
a zone cut, from those "below" the zone cut. Apparently
it doesn't think it needs the parent NS records since it has a copy
of them in the child. Needless to say, this behavior can cause some
nasty surprises when you change your master/slave configurations,
or if you upgrade from BIND 8 to BIND
9 which exhibits the *correct* behavior and thus won't be able to
fudge the absence of delegating NS records in the parent zone...
It is bind 8. But it is not a slave for
the child zone. Anything else
to check?
Operator error. Post the real zone content
and named.conf.
Now it seems to work. Sorry. I guess it
just takes quite some time to show up.
