Description of problem: zone file does not work like this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.0.0-19 include a name server record
Hi Lutz, please include a link to the document/page where this error can be found. also, please clarify the correct content to be included. thanks! setting as NEEDINFO=llange
Error is still present in Deployment_Guide-en-US-5.2-11 file:///usr/share/doc/Deployment_Guide-en-US-5.2/index.html#s2-bind-configuration-zone-reverse This is Section 17.3.4 . The second example box shows a reverse zone file: $ORIGIN 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA dns1.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. ( 2001062501 ; serial 21600 ; refresh after 6 hours 3600 ; retry after 1 hour 604800 ; expire after 1 week 86400 ) ; minimum TTL of 1 day 1 IN PTR dns1.example.com. 2 IN PTR dns2.example.com. 5 IN PTR server1.example.com. 6 IN PTR server2.example.com. 3 IN PTR ftp.example.com. 4 IN PTR ftp.example.com. --- This example is still missing an NS Type entry. To be consistent with section 17.3.3 you should include: IN NS dns1.example.com. IN NS dns2.example.com. You will need at least on NS type entry per zone file, otherwise named won't start.
Re-assigning to myself
Adam, I'm requesting NEEDINFO from you concerning this minor bug fix in the BIND chapter of the Deployment Guide. My question is: what should we change in the current documentation here to fix this documentation bug: http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Deployment_Guide/s2-bind-configuration-zone-reverse.html Thanks for your help, Silas
The file should at least have one NS entry : $ORIGIN 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA dns1.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. ( 2001062501 ; serial 21600 ; refresh after 6 hours 3600 ; retry after 1 hour 604800 ; expire after 1 week 86400 ) ; minimum TTL of 1 day ; ; next line is new : @ IN NS dns1.example.com. 1 IN PTR dns1.example.com. 2 IN PTR dns2.example.com. ; 5 IN PTR server1.example.com. 6 IN PTR server2.example.com. ; 3 IN PTR ftp.example.com. 4 IN PTR ftp.example.com.
Lutz Lange is absolutely right (comment #6). There is missing NS record in the zone file. You can add exact record ass Lutz suggested: @ IN NS dns1.example.com.
Thank you Adam! Fixed in RHEL5 trunk, -r30650. Fixed in RHEL6 master, 0265045.
