Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Something got sideways on one of my DNS servers, and I would
appreciate some help in figuring out what's going on.<br>
<br>
I'm running BIND
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
9.10.1. This server is authoritative master for a number of
domains.<br>
<br>
First off, I may have the allow-query set incorrectly. Currently I
have:<br>
<br>
acl query-permit {<br>
(range of IP address on the local LAN which are allowed to use
this server as their query server)<br>
};<br>
<br>
acl recursive-permit {<br>
(range of IP address on the local LAN which are allowed to use
this server for recursive queries)<br>
};<br>
<br>
acl transfer-permit {<br>
(IP addresses of a couple other name servers allowed to do
transfers with this one)<br>
};<br>
<br>
and at the beginning of the options section:<br>
<br>
allow-recursion { recursive-permit; };<br>
allow-transfer { transfer-permit; };<br>
// allow-query { query-permit; };<br>
<br>
Allow-query is commented out, which I assume will allow anyone to
query this server for the domains for which it has master or slave
records, but does not allow the general public to do recursive
queries or queries on domains not hosted here. <br>
<br>
Let me know if I've got that right, or how to correct it if I don't.<br>
<br>
If this part is correct I'll continue the questioning. <br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
