AXFR notifies?

I am forced to use AXFR to notify an external DNS server.

I inscribed the external DNS server's IP in the field "allow zone transfers", but somehow the transfers don't seem successful, because the external server never heard about my domain.

I check mydns.conf, and it says AXFR-allow: yes

did I miss something?

 

if I do
#mydns -d -v

I get:

 

my previous post is dumb.

Obviously, I have to stop the service before running it.

After stopping mydns and doing mydns -d -v again, it showed no errors: "listening on 4 addresses"


How can I check if the notifies are really sent to the other server or not?

 

any idea how I could diagnose the problem?

 

thanks!

modifying a query in mydns-ng shouldn't be difficult.

where is that file?


alternatively, I could also modify DNS_SOA column attributes and ISPConfig to set that active=1 value

 

I can't find the program... is that in a compiled file?
How to fix that?

The last intervention in the Sourceforge bug tracker is from march... *shudder*

Should I get another DNS server to work with ISPConfig 3?

 

err... in this thread they say that switching to mydns-ng is a solution?

But I think I use mydns-ng... How do I check which version I use?

 

ok, I manually changed the value in the DNS_SOA table to 1.

But still no joy, there are no notifies going out.

How can I trigger a notify manually?

 

I already tried that - it does not seem to send the notifies.

Is there any way I can check on my server if the notifies are being sent?


I also tried to change a timer setting in DNS settings and leave active alone, but ISPConfig overwrites the active field even if I made no changes to it.

How to trigger a notify? Is there a shell command to do it?

 

yes, but you know what ISPConfig does when the DNS config is changed.

somehow MyDNS must know that a change has been made, in order to send the notify.

Does ISPConfig do something else besides writing the new DNS setting into the DB?
Is there a trigger-field somewhere, like "these DNS settings have changed, please send a notify"?

 

No, it just writes the changes to the DB.

 

thank you - I'll try that.
