hi I run many name servers, and a few days ago errors such as this started appearing in one of the log files for one of the servers:
Jun 5 06:52:20 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (name.ualberta.ca) Jun 5 06:52:20 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (nom.ualberta.ca) Jun 5 06:52:20 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (menaik.cs.ualberta.ca) Jun 5 06:52:20 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS () Jun 5 06:57:22 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (SUNIC.SUNET.SE) Jun 5 06:57:22 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS () Jun 5 06:57:27 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (ns.eunet.ch) Jun 5 06:57:27 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS () Jun 5 06:57:27 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (ns) Jun 5 06:57:27 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS () Jun 5 07:01:04 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (NS.PROGETELBD.NET) Jun 5 07:01:04 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS () Jun 5 07:01:04 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (NS.PROGETELBD.NET) Jun 5 07:01:04 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS () Jun 5 07:01:04 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (NS.PROGETELBD.NET) Jun 5 07:01:04 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS () Jun 5 07:01:10 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (ns1.progetelbd.net) Jun 5 07:01:10 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS () Jun 5 07:01:10 mail-wa named[143]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (ns1.progetelbd.net) the server has been running flawlessly for almost 2 years, it is a slave nameserver only so changes to it are made on the master which is replicated to 2 other servers which are not experierncing this problem. i have googled around and most of the above errors seem to mention the root name servers inside the ()'s. the weird thing is this does not appear to be causing any noticible inpact on the server or the people that use it, only producing these log entries. It is a mail server as well, and there have been no mail errors that I have seen, and I have recieved no complaints. and I have noticed nothing unusual about the system. i read in this FAQ that in bind 4.x it is normal, and to ignore it. doesn't mention BIND 8: http://www.intac.com/~cdp/cptd-faq/section6.html the system is behind a firewall, as is the master name server and both of the other slaves. this particular server is configured with forwarders of the master name server, and the other local slave nameserver(the 2nd slave is on a remote site). the local slave is not configured with any forwarders, the master name server is not configured with any forwarders either. anyone else experience it? i suppose i could just filter it from my logs but it sort of worries me that it *just* started a few days ago after almost 2 years of normal behavior. I have over 7 thousand log entries with these messages in the past 3 days from the same server. thanks nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
