Apologies, Our workaround was actually the addition of 2 lines: check-names master ignore; check-names response ignore; Without the second ‘response’ clause, the update does not error, but does not get applied to the record. — Raymond Walker Software Systems Engineer StSp. ITS - N

Our current workaround is to add the following to NAMED configuration: check-names master ignore; Is there a more preferred solution? …or perhaps a different way of looking at this issue? — Raymond Walker Software Systems Engineer StSp. ITS - Northern Arizona University From: Ray Walker mailt

Again - thanks for the quick response - that'll teach me to post without all the facts. I simply don't remember what the specific error was, darn it. It might have been NXDOMAIN or SERVFAIL - I didn't write it down. The test I was running was on a barely, if ever used, domain, so I was pretty sure

That scenario still shouldn't have led to an NXDOMAIN. If none of the delegated nameservers are responding, you'd get a timeout or SERVFAIL. So I think there's still some investigation to be done. But using dig instead of nslookup at least makes things clearer :-) Of course, caching may compli

Thanks, Kevin, for your quick reply. In the last few minutes, I've come to realize that my problem is likely that the domain is only registered with two name servers - the one which were offline. Even though the zone has 6 NS records, the .com servers probably only know of the ones in the registrat

Well, you shouldn't be getting an NXDOMAIN just because some of your auth servers are off-line, but you could get some query timeouts if performance to your failover servers is really bad (or blocked, due to firewall rules, bad routes, etc.), or, if your expire times are *really* low, and the m

Hello, I've got 6 name-servers, 2 in each of 3 global regions. Each name-server has a net connection. Each name-server is authoritative. the domains it server have all six NS records. My question has to do with redundancy. If one of my "regions" goes down, I would have expected that a query agains

Running BIND 9.9.5: On moving to a hidden primary setup, dynamic updates to zones we are master for with “unallowed characters” (underscores in our case) have started to fail with the error "bad owner name (check-names)” In the past (pre hidden primary) they did not fail. In the past we have n
