DO you have any ideas on why this is happening

[falko]

What's in /etc/init.d/dnsctl? Is PATH set in the file?

[zimele]

Hi Falko

Here is a copy of my dnsctl do you know why this is happening

[falko]

Please post the contents of the file here directly.

[zimele]

HI Falko

I've managed to upload a page with the DNSCTL info

http://www.testingnxa.homelinux.com/help.htm

I hope that this can be of assistance and another thing i found was that the page that it is pointing to www.servershak.com is no longer available and it also has this
This domain name expired on 07/29/06 and is pending renewal or deletion

Another Error i run into when i try to dig @SECOND IP www.yahoo.com
it sometimes resolves it but yet again sometimes it say it cannot be reached and when i run /etc/init.d/networking restart it says

Reconfiguring network interfaces... ifup: interface lo already configured
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
Failed to bring up eth0:0.

Please help Me

You've replaced the contents of /etc/init.d/dnsctl with an HTML page... Of course this doesn't work. Do you have a backup of the original dnsctl file?

[zimele]

Hi Falko

I ran this

wget http://www.servershak.com/dns/dnsctl and when

ns1:/tmp# wget http://www.servershak.com/dns/dnsctl
--09:11:58-- http://www.servershak.com/dns/dnsctl
=> `dnsctl'
Resolving www.servershak.com... 68.178.232.99

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 47,467 [text/html]

100%[====================================>] 47,467 14.19K/s ETA 00:00


command and placed the DNSCTL on /tmp and used WINSCP3 to access it and it still has the same info as the one on my

../init.d/dnsctl

is there any way then i can get the actual DNSCTL original

[falko]

When you go to http://www.servershak.com/dns/dnsctl you see that the domain servershak.com has expired, that's why it doesn't work for you.

Here's the contents of /usr/local/sbin/dnsctl:

Hi Falko


thanks again for all your help the DNSCTL thing has been sorted after i have pasted the right info now what i want to know do you have any idea this is the current situation i've got 2 nameservers

1 first nameserver has two IP addresses my

eth0 Public ip and internal DNS
eth0:0 Public IP and ISP DNS (Virtual IP)


now how come if i try and use these (eth0 and eth0:0) as my primary and alternate DNS on my windows Based Machine it does not route out to the internet

and sometimes when i dig a website using my virtual IP like dig @xxx.xxx.xxx www.google.com it says it cannot be reached but after a couple of seconds i do the same thing and i get a reply what causes this

the only time that it works is when i use my webserver as an alternate DNS but i don't really wanna do this is there any way that i can use my et0:0 as a primary dns and my eth0 as a secondary

i can use my webserver as a primary and it routes fine to the internet but now i don't wanna bring strain on my webserver so i have dedicated 2 machines for dns now i wanna use those

on my 2 Nameservers i've installed

1st server eth0 Public IP own IP as DNS and eth0:0 Public IP and ISP DNS server

2nd server eth0 Public IP and ISP DNS

oh and i've finally decided to add another network card on instead of using a virtual-ip but now i'm not able to assign the second ip on my dns server whenever i do that i get a

eth0 Setting full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 45e1
done
eth1 Setting full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 45e1 (and then it stops it does not take me back to the command line)

and if i try pinging both ip's i do not get a reply so right now i've haven't configured eth1

do you have any idea why this happens or how i can stop it from happening

[falko]

I guess there's something wrong with the network configuration on your DNS server. Before you make things more complicated: Don't add eth1 for now and try to get a working internet connection on the server. Then DNS should work as well. And please check if you have valid DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.

[zimele]

Falko

Why is it that when after i've booted my 1st nameserver machine and i try dig @second IP www.google.co.za, i don't get a reply the only time i do get a response is after i ping that specific server's first IP its like i kinda have to remind my network card that it resolves IP's:)

[falko]

Are you talking of two different machines, or of two IP addresses on the same machine? In the latter case I'd say you should check your network settings.

[zimele]

i was meaning that i have to use another machine to ping the machine with the secondary Public IP and only after that can i start dig @second IP www.google.com

[falko]

Please check the network configuration of your first machine. Maybe there's something wrong with the configuration of the second NIC. Also check the logs.
