Bind9 minimal zone configuration seems not working

  • 772

I have installed bind9 on debian squeeze. This is my named.conf.local file:

options {
    directory "/var/cache/bind";
    auth-nxdomain no;
    listen-on { any; };
    listen-on-v6 { any; };
};

zone "devhub.pl" IN {
    type master;
    file "db.devhub";
};

And this is my zone file:

$TTL 3h

devhub.pl. IN SOA ns1.devhub.pl. root.devhub.pl. (
    2012051201 ; serial
    3h ; refresh
    1h ; retry
    1w ; expire
    1h ) ; negative caching

    IN NS ns1.devhub.pl.
    IN NS ns2.devhub.pl.

ns1.devhub.pl. IN A 193.93.207.231
ns2.devhub.pl. IN A 193.93.207.231

www IN CNAME devhub.pl.

named-checkconf and named-checkzone report that all it's ok, but when I'm trying to setup external DNS as

ns1.devhub.pl -> 193.93.207.231
ns2.devhub.pl -> 193.93.207.231

my provider's admin panel show some error like this:

dns1: ns1.devhub.pl server isn't configured for devhub.pl domain. Please contact admin...
dns2: ns2.devhub.pl server isn't configured for devhub.pl domain. Please contact admin...

What I'm missing? Any suggestions?

And logs:

What about this address in use - is it problem?

BTW bind is chrooted and running /etc/init.d/bind9 start and then /etc/init.d/bind9 status says could not access PID file for bind9 ... failed!

  1. Have you checked your logs in /var/log/syslog?

    Also, Have a look at http://wiki.debian.org/Bind9#Configuration.

    Finally, one thing that I have in my /etc/named.conf that you don't have is an Options section, like this: (Granted, I'm running CentOS, not Debian, but Bind9 is Bind9. You probably need to tell it the actual path (with the directory set inside options) of your zone files, if they're in a different directory).

        options
{
                directory "/var/named"; // the default
                recursion no;
                listen-on { localhost; 127.0.0.1; My Public IP Address; };
                allow-transfer {My Slave DNS Server;};
};

                zone "domain.com" {
                type master;
                file "domain.com.db";
                };

    And then of course, my zone files (I have lots of domains I provide NS for) are in /var/named/.

    Specify the full path to your file (e.g.: /etc/bind/master/db.devhub is where I would place my file)
