Hello All,
I have my DNS server, serving my .biz zone, NATed behind 2xDSL routers /
connections.
The DNS is running on Centos 5 and bind-9.3.4-6.0.2.P1.el5_2.
The DSL modems (I have two connections) are using DynDNS since the DSL
connection is provided with dynamic DNS allocations.
We assume that modem A gets declared on DynDNS as "a.dyndns.biz." and modem
B as "b.dyndns.biz.".
What I try to do, is to make my NATed DNS, master for my domain (let us call
it abc.biz.)
On the registrar I have to declare that my primary DNS for abc.biz. is the
DNS accessible through either DSL modem.
I define dns1.abc.biz. as the primary DNS.
However since this a DynDNS registered IP, I have to define dns1.abc.biz. as
a CNAME to "a.dyndns.biz.".
But there are two DSL connections for redundancy and load balancing.
So if I also define dns1.abc.biz. as a CNAME to "b.dyndns.biz." then I get
the error:
"multiple RRs of singleton type"
I googled a bit, and found out that after BIND 9.1 the multiple-cnames
directive got forced obsolete.
Is there any way to succeed in what I try with BIND9?
If I have to write the zone file in a different way, can you please explain
the way, since it is not obvious to me?
Thank you All for your time,
