Here’s another example of zone file under section 12.3.3
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-bind-zone.html

Feb 1 20:57:38 server named[6096]: starting BIND 9.2.4 -u named -t /var/named/chroot

Feb 1 20:57:38 server named[6096]: general: error: zone hartings.se/IN: loading master file data/hartings.se.zone: unexpected end of input
Feb 1 20:57:38 server named[6096]: general: notice: running
Feb 1 20:57:38 server named: named startup succeeded

It seems as if the errors are on line 1 and 2? “unexpected end of input” and “unexpected end of line” ????
Or what does “1:” and “2:” mean?
As your file worked, I don’t understand why my “version” would not …..
I am lost!

The content of the query.log is:
Feb 01 20:43:54.183 client 127.0.0.1#50433: query: hartings.se IN A

The security.log file is still empty.

It seems something in wrong in the zone definition file, as you suggested:
general: error: dns_rdata_fromtext: data/hartings.se.zone:7: near eol: unexpected end of input
general: error: zone hartings.se/IN: loading master file data/hartings.se.zone: unexpected end of input

Any clue on what is wrong/missing?

Thanks for looking into this!. Here is my named.conf:

//
// named.conf for Red Hat caching-nameserver
//

key “rndckey” {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret “PtBS0MY+OXRXjk/iRgtlcw==”;
};

// we assume our server has the IP 192.168.254.207 serving the 192.168.254.0/24 subnet
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { “rndckey”; };
inet 192.168.1.93 allow { 192.168.1.0/24; } keys { “rndckey”; };
};

options {
directory “/var/named”;
pid-file “/var/run/named/named.pid”;
dump-file “/var/named/data/cache_dump.db”;
statistics-file “/var/named/data/named_stats.txt”;

recursion yes;

allow-recursion {
127.0.0.1;
192.168.1.0/24;
};

// these are the opendns servers (optional)
forwarders {
213.50.29.170;
81.216.65.12;
195.58.112.157;
};

listen-on {
127.0.0.1;
192.168.1.93;
};

//query-source address * port 53;

// so people can’t try to guess what version you’re running
version “REFUSED”;

allow-query {
127.0.0.1;
192.168.1.0/24;
};
};

server 192.168.1.93 {
keys { rndckey; };
};

zone “.” IN {
type hint;
file “named.ca”;
};

#zone “hartings.se” IN {
#type master;
#file “data/hartings.se.zone”;
#allow-transfer { key TRANSFER; };
#};

———

When I uncomment the last section, the result is:

[root@server etc]# nslookup hartings.se 127.0.0.1
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
** server can’t find hartings.se: SERVFAIL
[root@server etc]#

I thought for a moment that this section should be in there, but this is not correct it seems.

Can you show me the content of your named.conf file ?
(I’m aware of the URL rewritten in the comments, I need to fix that)

Thanks

Thanks

Please see my situation/question below. I would really appreciate your input/comments on where to look…

My situation:
- I run CENTOS 4.8 on my server.
- I need to set up a nameserver for my internal network
- I installed yum install bind bind-chroot bind-libs bind-utils caching-nameserver
- http/mail/nameserver is 192.168.1.93 , all in one ! My external IP is 87.227.107.21 (shown in nameserver reply below)
- I do not have a MX record (but copied the MX lines anyhow – does not make any difference in the result)
- Only the open/external DNS servers reply on request – not my own nameserver
- Where is the mistake?? I did check for typo’s (twice) and I did check the internet and tried several changes, with no luck….
