Greetings,
I recently setup DNS on a linux machine, ns1.accesspeople.com, and got
swbell.net to allow reverse delegation in-addr. zone.
I am now getting this error running nslookup:
Can't find server name for address 216.61.42.116, server failed.
Here is a copy of my in-addr.zone (named.216.61.42) file:
112.42.61.216.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA
accesspeople.com.hostmaster.accesspeople.com. (
1999101015 ; serial
28800 ; refresh
14400 ; retry
3600000 ; expire
86400 ; default_ttl
)
IN NS ns1.accesspeople.com.
IN NS ns1.swbell.net.
IN NS ns2.swbell.net.
116 IN PTR ns1.accesspeople.com.
114 IN PTR serv.accesspeople.com.
115 IN PTR mail.accesspeople.com
----------------------------------
Swbell bell stated this:
Your SBIS assigned IP block of :: 216.61.42.112/29
has been delegated to your DNS server for the reverse
in-addr lookups. This is RFC2317 < class C style reverse delegation.
The in-addr zone has been delegated to:
ns1.accesspeople.com 216.61.42.116
You will need to run the following reverse in-addr zone:
112.42.61.216.in-addr.arpa
Please add NS records for ns1.swbell.net and ns2.swbell.net,
and allow zone transfers from these nameservers.
Here is an example setup they provided:
Customers who provide their own forward and reverse zones are delegated the
reverse PTR lookups in the traditional manner.
Delegations of less than one Class C of addresses (i.e. < /24 CIDR) are in
the following RFC 2317 style:
IP Bock Example: 216.101.12.64/29
This would be our delegation:
$ORIGIN 12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
64
IN NS your-ns.yourdomain.com.
IN NS ns1.swbell.net.
IN NS ns2.swbell.net.
65 IN CNAME 65.64.12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
66 IN CNAME 66.64.12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
67 IN CNAME 67.64.12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
68 IN CNAME 68.64.12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
69 IN CNAME 69.64.12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
70 IN CNAME 70.64.12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
In this example, your-ns.yourdomain.com. should be answering queries for the
zone 64.12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
$ORIGIN 64.12.101.216.in-addr.arpa.
@ IN NS
your-ns.yourdomain.com.
IN NS
ns1.swbell.net.
IN NS
ns2.swbell.net.
65 IN PTR host1.yourdomain.com.
66 IN PTR host2.yourdomain.com.
67 IN PTR host3.yourdomain.com.
68 IN PTR host4.yourdomain.com.
69 IN PTR host5.yourdomain.com.
70 IN PTR host6.yourdomain.com.
Note: SBIS policy requires that ns1.swbell.net and ns2.swbell.net be
authoritative for all delegated in-addr.arpa zones. Please allow zone
transfers to occur from ns1.swbell.net and ns2.swbell.net for the in-addr
zones.
I have DNS and BIND book, but can't find a solution. I'm sure I'm
overlooking the obvious.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you for your time, and with kindest regards, I am,
