DNS zone transfer

[wxman]

I had a quick question about the /etc/mydns.conf file. Where it says:

multicpu = 1 # Number of CPUs installed on your system
recursive = 68.87.78.130 # Location of recursive resolver

if I have a dual core CPU should it say 2? Also is 'recursive' showing the name servers? I have dual core's and mine says '1', and there's nothing under the 'recursive' setting.

If you want MyDNS to use both CPUs, then yes.

If you want your MyDNS to resolve domains/hostnames for which it is not authoritative, then you need to put another nameserver under recursive (e.g. a nameserver of your ISP).

Thanks. Glad to know.

Is there a test I can run on the machine itself to see if it's working?

Take a look at the logs on the slave (if you're on Debian/Ubuntu, it's /var/log/syslog). This will tell you if zone transfers are successful or not.

I'm in the process of asking them (EditDNS) for logs.

They are just telling me that it's refusing axfr (tcp 53) connections:
[root@ns2 ~]# dig @1.1.1.1 mydomain.com axfr

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> dig @1.1.1.1 mydomain.com axfr
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd
; Transfer failed.

--

If I telnet to the ispconfig box from outside on port 53, it connects fine.

[root@romain ~]# telnet mydomain.com 53
Trying 1.1.1.1...
Connected to mydomain.com (1.1.1.1).
Escape character is '^]'.

Isn't this command suppose to verify that my dns server accepts axfr transfers? I added the IP of itself (10.0.0.7) to the Allow zone transfers to
these IPs (comma separated list) as well.

[root@ispconfig3 ~]# dig @10.0.0.7 mydomain.com axfr

; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2-RedHat-9.5.1-2.P2.fc10 <<>> @10.0.0.7 mydomain.com axfr
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
; Transfer failed.

try to add only your public IP and run

dig axfr zone.sk @1.2.3.4

[binaryrogue]

I added my public IP and same result.


[root@ispc2 ~]# dig axfr zone.sk @1.2.3.4

; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2-RedHat-9.5.1-2.P2.fc10 <<>> axfr zone.sk @1.2.3.4
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

[tio289]

yeah:-D

you change zone.sk to your zone name and 1.2.3.4 change to you server IP it is example only

if you have GTalk I can help you. (my Gtalk is feldsam@gmail.com)
