is there a workaround for this ? I have a master zone file serving up the domains from the zone example.com like www.example.com ftp.example.com etc Until now i was using the same file for serving up the domains of varinants of example.com like example.cc example.biz exumple.com But now i cannot use the master zone file for these variants :-( and would have to create different files and these will not get updated when i do the nsupdate.. For eg : if i do a nsupdate for www.example.com, then that should be reflected on www.example.cc too .. With the older conf file structure i was hoping that it would happen, but unfortunately after nsupdate it does not :-( Is there any nice workaround for this ? thanks very much On Thursday 15 May 2008 7:38:05 pm Mark Andrews wrote: > > Hello , > > I'm having a problem with bind-9.4.2-3 as well as in bind-9.3.3-10.el5. > > > > The sequence that leads to the error is > > > > 1) Start up the nameserver. > > 2) Do nsupdate to change the zone info, > > In this change the ips of several A records > > > > 3) At this point i see that there are .jnl files written with the same > > name as the zone conf files > > > > 4) Stop the nameserver > > > > > > 5) Start the nameserver. > > > > At this point i get lots of err messages like > > > > May 15 17:03:06 isit01 named[14655]: master/testxxx.com:67: ignoring > > out-of-zone data (oaig.testxxx.com) > > May 15 17:03:06 isit01 named[14655]: master/testxxx.com:68: ignoring > > out-of-zone data (obatch.testxxx.com) > > May 15 17:03:06 isit01 named[14655]: master/testxxx.com:69: ignoring > > out-of-zone data (obilling.testxxx.com) > > May 15 17:03:06 isit01 named[14655]: master/testxxx.com:70: ignoring > > out-of-zone data (omail.testxxx.com) > > May 15 17:03:06 isit01 named[14655]: master/testxxx.com:71: ignoring > > out-of-zone data (omaprod.testxxx.com) > > May 15 17:03:06 isit01 named[14655]: master/testxxx.com:72: ignoring > > out-of-zone data (osecure.testxxx.com) > > I suspect you have multiple zones referencing the same master > file.
