[afnog] DNS Issue

Mon Jun 4 14:15:22 UTC 2012

Hi McTim,

Thanks for the reply, I have realized that .35 has only SOA, so I am trying to make a slave server only for .34, so this is between my new server and .34, I realized that when I dig with axfr, I can successfully get the zone file, meaning zone transfer is enabled, but I can't manage to be the slave of the domain, and the error is the one I pasted below:

named[42655]: transfer of '200.191.41.in-addr.arpa/IN' from 41.191.200.34#53: failed while receiving responses: FORMERR 
is this caused by an unknown format to BIND of the zone file?

Thanks and regards
Mamothokoane

Hi,

I only have time now for a quick dig:

so .34 is answering for the zone, but .35 is not giving the same answer, only has SOA records for the reverse zone.

Hope this helps.
