Hello Group... UBUNTU 6.06 Apache2 2.0.55 PHP 5.1.2 ISPConfig 2.3.2 Shorewall 3.0.4 In trying to get to bottom of any potential 'zone' file errors I have been using 'nano /var/log/syslog' After running '/etc/init.d/bind9 restart' I then run 'nano /var/log/syslog'. I have been reading http://www.aboutdebian.com/dns.htm, it is stated that so long as at the end of each 'zone' related line you see 'loaded serial 1' that zone had no problems. Below is my syslog regarding BIND: Code: Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: starting BIND 9.3.2 -u bind -t /var/lib/named Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: found 1 CPU, using 1 worker thread Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf' Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 72.169.152.211#53 Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: command channel listening on ::1#953 Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1 Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: zone 152.169.72.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 2007083005 Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: dns_master_load: pri.giganetwireless.com:24: www.giganetwireless.com: CNAME and other data Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: zone giganetwireless.com/IN: loading master file pri.giganetwireless.com: CNAME and other data Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: running Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: zone 152.169.72.in-addr.arpa/IN: sending notifies (serial 2007083005) Aug 31 07:39:08 giganetwireless named[2908]: zone highcountryhomesofanza.com/IN: refresh: unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL) from master 72.169.152.211#53 (source 0$ The above shows 'zone' 'lo' arpa receives a 'loaded serail 1' however the next 'zone' line which is the public IP arpa receives the date as its serial- this is correct isn't it?? And I'm not sure but is 'zone giganetwireless.com' not loading corretly as it is not tagged with 'loaded serial 1' EDIT I have just found when running 'nslookup giganetwireless.com' I receive the following: Code: mailman@giganetwireless:/etc/bind$ nslookup giganetwireless.com Server: 72.169.152.211 Address: 72.169.152.211#53 ** server can't find giganetwireless.com: SERVFAIL[\code] If someone could provide some input regarding this or even point me to a source of information that will help me to understand the log I am looking at would be greatly appreciated. :D Thanks for your help Regards
