    I have a primary and slave DNS server running on my internal LAN for the past 3-4 iterations of Fedora. However after the FC10 upgrade I cannot start the named service....

    This is what I see in /var/log/messages


    03-Dec-2008 10:07:46.246 starting BIND 9.5.1b2-RedHat-9.5.1-0.8.b2.fc10 -g

    03-Dec-2008 10:07:46.263 exiting (due to fatal error)


    This is the results of named-checkconf -z

    zone maizenblue.com/IN: maizenblue.com/MX 'mail.maizenblue.com' is a CNAME (illegal)
    zone maizenblue.com/IN: loaded serial 2007041818
    zone 10.10.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file 10.10.10.zone failed: file not found
    _default/10.10.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: file not found


    looks like it can't find the reverse zone file, however it is definitely there....Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

    What's in your named.conf?

    You must not use CNAME records in an MX record. Always use A records.

    Thanks for the reply..I was able to fix the issue by modifying the "query-source" directive. Apparently some things have changed in the new version of BIND.
