Little bit of info, running bind 9.2.3 on redhat 7.3
$ host 66.35.133.90
90.133.35.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer www.neocipher.net.
We used to host the domain neocipher.net on this server but no longer do
and I would like to correct this issue. It has caused a few mail issues
also. I have be told this is a reverse dns issue. Following this is a
few zone files.
Here is our reverse 66.35.133 file:
$TTL 3h
@ IN SOA prcdigital.com. sreese.prcdigital.com. (
2004082100 ; serial
3h ; refresh
1h ; retry
1w ; expire
1h ) ; ttk
NS ns1.prcdigital.com.
NS ns2.prcdigital.com.
90 PTR prcdigital.com.
91 PTR ns2.prcdigital.com.
Here is our prcdigital.com file:
$TTL 3h
@ IN SOA prcdigital.com. sreese.prcdigital.com. (
1 ; serial
3h ; refresh
1h ; retry
1w ;expire
1h ) ; minimum
NS ns1.prcdigital.com.
NS ns2.prcdigital.com.
MX 10 mail.prcdigital.com.
A 66.35.133.90
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mail A 66.35.133.90
ns1 A 66.35.133.90
ns2 A 66.35.133.91
www A 66.35.133.90
ftp A 66.35.133.90
Here is the non-authoritive server issue:
$ nslookup -sil 66.35.133.90
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
90.133.35.66.in-addr.arpa name = www.neocipher.net.
Authoritative answers can be found from:
133.35.66.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns2.deltacom.net.
133.35.66.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns1.deltacom.net.
ns1.deltacom.net internet address = 207.230.75.34
ns2.deltacom.net internet address = 207.230.75.50
Why does our T provider show up as authoritative anwsers and our server
does not. Is it possible for our server to be an authoritiver server for
our domain?
Thanks for your time.
