RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dmitri Pal 2013-05-14 13:36:01 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/119

From BIND version 9.9, the "automatic empty zones" defined in [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6303 RFC 6303] are automatically enabled.

This prevents bind-dyndb-ldap from loading reverse zones listed in [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6303#section-4 RFC 6303 section 4].


=== Workaround ===
Add line like
{{{
disable-empty-zone "8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.";
}}}
to `/etc/named.conf` for each 'local' reverse zone in LDAP.

Comment 1 Namita Soman 2013-05-15 12:57:25 UTC 
Please provide steps to verify...thanks!
Comment 2 Petr Spacek 2013-05-15 13:03:53 UTC 
I updated the upsteam ticket:

Steps to reproduce:
*    Add e.g. reverse zone 8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. to IPA DNS
*    Add arbitrary record to the reverse zone
*    Try to dig the record or read logs from named: Zone is not loaded and records are not available to clients, because default empty zones are loaded before zones from IPA DNS

Comment 4 Xiyang Dong 2014-02-19 15:17:43 UTC 
I added the example reverse zone but seems it's loaded

Please see "Fixed In Version" field in this bug.
Comment 6 Xiyang Dong 2014-02-19 15:59:57 UTC 
it's saying fixed in bind-dyndb-ldap-3.5-1.el7
while my machine has bind-dyndb-ldap-3.5-2.el7.x86_64
Comment 7 Petr Spacek 2014-02-19 16:15:53 UTC 
It means that version you use contains a fix already, so you can't see the problem.
Comment 8 Xiyang Dong 2014-02-19 17:23:36 UTC 
Verified on:
[root@70master pki]# rpm -q bind bind-dyndb-ldap
bind-9.9.4-9.el7.x86_64
bind-dyndb-ldap-3.5-2.el7.x86_64

Unfortunatelly, you didn't follow all the steps to reproduce:

Please do second and third step and make sure that added zone really works.
