SOA issue

[Paul A]

Chris this is not a dynamic zone, I do have NS RR. I had to completely
restart bind for it to work. No matter what I did with the serial it
wouldn't change. Never had to do this before so it's a bit odd.

 

Named-checkzone gave me no errors and rndc reload worked fine but the zone
wouldn't update.

Can anyone tell help me figure out why this SOA is not changing no matter
what I do. The zone was edited and has a new SOA but no matter what I do
bind doesn't reload the zone with the new SOA. I tried rndc freeze/unfreeze
and still nothing. Short of reloading bind what else can I do.

OK

 

Your zone only has an SOA record. A zone without NS records will not load.

 

If that's not really the issue, because you've edited the output above, a
couple of hints:

 

- rndc reload <zone> is unnecessary if rndc freeze <zone> executes
correctly. A dynamic zone (one that you would freeze and thaw) cannot be
reloaded. Thawing the zone effectively reloads it.

 

- Do not edit a dynamic zone's zone file without first freezing it.
Otherwise, when you freeze it, the data in memory will be written to disk,
overwriting your changes.

 

- Are you sure you're editing the right file?
