I have a authorative DNS server at 83.248.21.18 which are authorative for the domain "finahemgoteborg.se". Now my registrar is requiring me to have 2 DNS servers for the domain, so I would now want the machine 85.228.103.141 just forward all incoming queries for "finahemgoteborg.se" to the 83.248.21.18 server.
In the 85.228.103.141 BIND server, I have the following config:
zone "finahemgoteborg.se" in {
type forward;
forwarders {83.248.21.18;};
};
But the problem is that 85.228.103.141 is still responding with "REFUSED" when querying it for example www.finahemgoteborg.se A record.
How can I fix it. I do NOT want to set up a master/slave situation, just one nameserver that forwards to a another.
Edit The Rest of named.conf:
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
version "none";
allow-recursion {"none";};
minimal-responses no;
};
zone "sebn.us.to" in{
type master;
file "/etc/bind/sebn.us.to";
};
zone "ns1sebn.us.to" in{
type master;
file "/etc/bind/sebn.us.to";
};
zone "ns2sebn.us.to" in{
type master;
file "/etc/bind/sebn.us.to";
};
zone "finahemgoteborg.se" in{
type forward;
forwarders {83.248.21.18;};
};
The problem was solved in a pretty non-technocal way: Switching to a registrar that does not require 2 DNS servers. Found one that gladly accepted one single nameserver on the domain.
Is there possibly an ACL on either server that is preventing the forwarding?
Have you restarted both servers (or at least done
rndc reload
)"type forward;" is wrong. What you need is master/slave DNS relationship.
