- Subject: HELP needed getting secondary name server working on VM
- Lines: 90
-
- Ok, I asked once already and its still not right. I'm trying to run a
- secondary nameserver on ARIZVM1.CCIT.ARIZONA.EDU. I want it to be secondary
- for ARIZONA.EDU. The ONLY example I have to go on is from unix. Here's what
- I have so far:
-
- My unix example says to create "named.boot" file:
- ------------------------------------------------
- cache . cache
- primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa local
- secondary arizona.edu 128.196.128.233 AZ
- secondary 128.196.in-addr.arpa 128.196.128.233 AZR
-
-
- So on VM I created my NSMAIN file with:
- --------------------------------------
- primary . cache
- primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa local
- secondary arizona.edu AZ 128.196.128.233
- secondary 128.196.in-addr.arpa AZR 128.196.128.233
-
-
- Now my sql tables AZ0 and AZR0 are successfully loaded by a zone transfer from
- 128.196.128.233. I have successfully loaded the CACHE0 sql table (using
- NSDBLOAD) from a file I called CACHE DATA:
-
- ; root nameservers
- . 99999999 IN NS NS.NIC.DDN.MIL.
- 99999999 IN NS AOS.BRL.MIL.
- 99999999 IN NS KAVA.NISC.SRI.COM.
- 99999999 IN NS C.NYSER.NET.
- 99999999 IN NS TERP.UMD.EDU.
- 99999999 IN NS NS.NASA.GOV.
- 99999999 IN NS NIC.NORDU.NET.
- NS.NIC.DDN.MIL. 99999999 IN A 192.112.36.4
- AOS.BRL.MIL. 99999999 IN A 192.5.25.82
- KAVA.NISC.SRI.COM. 99999999 IN A 192.33.33.24
- C.NYSER.NET. 99999999 IN A 192.33.4.12
- TERP.UMD.EDU. 99999999 IN A 128.8.10.90
- NS.NASA.GOV. 99999999 IN A 128.102.16.10
- 99999999 IN A 192.52.195.10
- NIC.NORDU.NET. 99999999 IN A 192.36.148.17
-
-
- Now here's where my problem is, but I don't know how it's supposed to be on VM.
- From my unix example, the contents of the LOCAL file should be:
-
- @ 604800 IN SOA LOCALHOST. POSTMAST.LOCALHOST. (
- 1.1 ;serial
- 21600 ;refresh
- 3600 ;retry
- 3600000 ;expire
- 86400 ) ;minimum ttl
- 604800 IN NS LOCALHOST.
- 1 IN PTR LOCALHOST.
- LOCALHOST. IN A 127.0.0.1
-
-
- So I created a file called LOCAL DATA with the above and tried to load it into
- the sql table LOCAL0 with NSDBLOAD and get the following error:
-
- nsdbload local0 local data a local hostinfo a
- outnfile.fn local
- infile.fn local
- Select remarks
- Currently used TABLES: CACHE0 LOCAL0 AZ1 AZR1
- Wed Jan 27 07:58:19: Do you want to create resource records from a master file
- Wed Jan 27 07:58:19: (y/n)?
- y
- Using input file local.data.a
- Wed Jan 27 07:58:28: @ - current origin
-
- Origin has not been defined
- Origin has not been defined
- Error(s) occurred reading master datafile.
- Ready(00001); T=0.15/0.25 07:58:28
-
-
- Ok, so it seems that I have to specify a $ORIGIN in my LOCAL DATA file. But
- I'm not sure what the $ORIGIN should be.
-
- A question I have that may be related to my problem is how the LOOPBACK
- address of 14.0.0.0 on VM relates to the LOCALHOST address of 127.0.0.1 on
- unix systems. Should my LOCAL DATA file be using 14.0.0.0 instead of
- 127.0.0.1? Should I be using LOOPBACK instead of LOCALHOST?
-
- Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!
