I hope this willhelp you.
Dangling problem :
We have 4 root servers (1 primary and 3 secondary) called level 1
We have 7 severs for the level 2. Each server is primary on his zone and secondary
for the other zone.
The message comes from the log of the level 2 servers.
The cname is written in the file of the level 1 server and the address in the file
of the level 2 server.
Log :
(dont pay attention to the _ in the names)
Dec 28 05:35:41 level2_server named[24978]: dangling CNAME pointer
(intranet.level2_domain.level1_domain)
Nslookup results on intranet
