Bind 9 - Weird Schtuff!!

I recently upgrade 2 of my server with OpenBSD 3.1 and Bind 9. Fresh install with existing domain names.

My one install, http://www.phatness.net is working great. Everything resolves, no issues nothin!

However, my second domain, http://www.titancs.com is doing some wacky stuff. Originally :

www.titancs.com, ns1.titancs.com, etc would resolve, and you were able to ping etc, however, titancs.com (the root) would not resolve.

So i went and looked over my titancs.com.zone file, and notice the only different between the box that was working and this one was the following ...


titancs.com :

mail IN A 142.179.213.177
www IN A 142.179.213.176
IN A 142.179.213.176
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1

phatness.net :

IN A 24.86.115.247
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
mail IN A 24.86.115.247
www IN A 24.86.115.247



So ... thinking this was ridiculous, i just wnet with it and relocated the localhost and default root to the top and restarted named. Well today, the root resolves, ns1 resolves, but www. and mail dont.

Is this just a time issue? Do I need to allow the dns to propegate further on the internet before everything fixes itself?

If you do a DNS Check on the domain, it looks good. At least it did when i did it.

Ideas?!

If you leave the leafname blank in a zone file it uses the previous name. Therefore your non-leafname entry was being applied to the www domain.

You can use '@' to mean the zone file's domain.

CNAME

October 28 2002, 12:16 AM 

mail IN A 142.179.213.177
www IN A 142.179.213.176
IN A 142.179.213.176
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1

mail and www MUST be CNAMES.


For example:

www IN CNAME mydomain.com.


Hope this help,
Alex
