Description Need Real Name 2003-02-24 01:52:29 UTC

Description of problem:

RFC1912, section 4.1 lists a set of zones that should be included in all name
servers.  It lists:


primary         localhost               localhost
primary         0.0.127.in-addr.arpa    127.0
primary         255.in-addr.arpa        255
primary         0.in-addr.arpa          0

The caching-nameserver package includes the first two of these, but not the
latter two.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A

How reproducible:

This is a configuration error, not a software bug.

Comment 1 Need Real Name 2003-03-10 19:03:35 UTC

Given that new installations are set to "localhost.localdomain," the informal
TLD "localdomain" should be added to the list of authoritative domains that is
included in the default BIND configuration on Red Hat Linux.

Comment 2 Jason Vas Dias 2004-08-25 23:03:04 UTC

This is now fixed (caching-nameserver-7.3-3).
