Try updating to 8.2.2p5. Running 8.2.1 is not a good idea; there are 2 known root shell exploits. Your problem seems to be specific to AIX servers - I can't reproduce it here with Linux and FreeBSD servers, so I can't tell you for sure if it will fix this problem. I was able to upgrade the 8.2.1 to the 8.2.2 P3 that the RH security suggested last night. All appears to be working fine. Thanks for your quick response. Jason |
Named will try to forward any requests that are not within our private network to an AIX 4.3.2 named server that was running named Ver. 4. The client (Win95, Win98, & WinNT 4.0) would return host not found. Named on RH61 appeared to be having problems negotiating with AIX named version 4. Upgraded AIX named version 4 to version 8 and same problem existed. Finally, dropped RH61 machines back to named version 8.2.1 Release 6 from RedHat 6.0 RPMS. All works fine. No errors were reported to /var/log/messages file about named forwarders not working. I was using the exact same named.conf from BIND 8.2.1 R6 with BIND 8.2.1 R7. Will upgrade to BIND 8.2.2 fix this problem or have you heard of this at all? Here is my named.conf file: options { directory "/var/named"; forwarders{ 10.1.1.32; }; }; zone "." { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; zone "private.gdol"{ type master; file "private.gdol"; notify no; }; zone "10.IN-ADDR.ARPA"{ type master; file "10."; notify no; }; zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA"{ type master; file "named.local"; notify no; Thanks, Jason
