      Can you check if resulting bind conf file are fine?

        Hello,

        I am running a 2.1-RELEASE (i386)  on a KVM host. Using the VirtIO drivers.
        Installed the Bind package and am trying to configure a master DNS.

        After finishing the configurations and restarting the server I see the following errors in the log:

        Apr 2 08:12:09 named[56696]: network: info: additionally listening on IPv4 interface vtnet1, 172.16.2.1#53

        udp4      0      0 127.0.0.1.53          .

        I am not able to resolve any host on this server, in fact, my hosts are not able to connect to it:

        nslookup ns1.domain.com 172.16.2.1
        ;; connection timed out; trying next origin

        On the other hand :

        nmap -p 53 172.16.2.1

        Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-04-02 08:33 IDT
        Nmap scan report for 172.16.2.1
        Host is up (0.00032s latency).
        PORT  STATE SERVICE
        53/tcp open  domain

        Any idea what is going on here?

        Thanks

        EDIT: After restarting the instance all seems to work.  I guess this issue is resolved.

          Did you disabled DNS forwarder before starting bind?

            Hi Marcelloc,

            I need to import over 1000 domain overwrite record into bind package.
            Can I use custom options for this? if yes, can you give me a sample?
            eg: example.com 100.100.100.100
            OR address=example/100.100.100.100

            Thanks in advance.

              Custom options are bind options.do the same way you do while editing files.

              You may need to edit pkg_edit.php to allow 1000 domains.

                The custom options are exactly the same format as a zone file. So it would look like this:

                xbox1       IN A 10.9.8.34
                xbox360   IN A 10.9.8.35
                wii            IN A 10.9.8.36
                3ds           IN A 10.9.8.37
                vita           IN A 10.9.8.38

                  not exist

                  What is wrong?  :o

                    Thanks for your reply, I did disable the DNS forward service before installing Bind.
                    A restart solved the issue I had.

                      I tired you code but it doesn't work for me. After I saved the change, the services was broken.
                      If I removed the custom options, it will be just fine.

                        What ever you put in the custom box is simply added to the zone file for the domain name. You do not need to put the START OF AUTHORITY (SOA) in the custom section, this is generated for you. You do need to take care that you have formatted everything correctly. Here is a description of what could go in the custom section: taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_file

                        
                        example.com.  NS    ns                    ; ns.example.com is a nameserver for example.com
                        example.com.  NS    ns.somewhere.example. ; ns.somewhere.example is a backup nameserver for example.com
                        example.com.  MX    10 mail.example.com.  ; mail.example.com is the mailserver for example.com
                        @             MX    20 mail2.example.com. ; equivalent to above line, "@" represents zone origin
                        @             MX    50 mail3              ; equivalent to above line, but using a relative host name
                        example.com.  A     192.0.2.1             ; IPv4 address for example.com
                                      AAAA  2001:db8:10::1        ; IPv6 address for example.com
                        ns            A     192.0.2.2             ; IPv4 address for ns.example.com
                                      AAAA  2001:db8:10::2        ; IPv6 address for ns.example.com
                        www           CNAME example.com.          ; www.example.com is an alias for example.com
                        wwwtest       CNAME www                   ; wwwtest.example.com is another alias for www.example.com
                        mail          A     192.0.2.3             ; IPv4 address for mail.example.com,
                                                                  ;  any MX record host must be an address record
                                                                  ; as explained in RFC 2181 (section 10.3)
                        mail2         A     192.0.2.4             ; IPv4 address for mail2.example.com
                        mail3         A     192.0.2.5             ; IPv4 address for mail3.example.com
                        
                        

                        My guess is that you're most likely going to use  A records, which associate a name to an ip address.
                        If you use a CNAME, you must have a period at the end of the name you type. IP addresses do NOT get followed by a period.
                        A semicolon ; is a comment - anything following it is ignored.

                            I've never used this way. Check bind documentation.

                                What is the notebook computer using for a DNS server? If you use DHCP to configure IP services, make sure your DHCP server is telling the clients the proper address to use for DNS lookups. Looks like that should be 192.168.1.1 in your example.

                                Try nslookup 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.1  and see if you get an answer. If so, your client is probably not looking at the correct address for DNS resolution.

                                  pfsense 123, do you have a zone to configure on it?
                                  If it's just a forward dns, why don't you use built in dns forwarder package?

                                    we have an exist bind on an old ubuntu, i want turn this machine off when bind on pfsense works.

                                    the zone in this "test" is test.intern. I need a forward and a reverse lookup, is there any wrong parameter in my config?

                                    @smarc the IP Config on the Client is static, the DNS is the same like the pfsense server.

                                      @pfsense123:

                                      nslookup 192.168.1.1
                                      Server: UnKnown
                                      Adress: 192.168.1.1
                                      not exist

                                      nslookup testserver
                                      Server: UnKnown
                                      Adress: 192.168.1.1
                                      not exist

                                      I don't think your client machine knows about the bind server.

                                        Did you…

                                        • configured a firewall rule to allow dns requests?

                                        • disabled dns forwarder to do not conflict with bind?

                                          Sorry for asking(maybe it's already answered before) but how exactly do you run bind(named) on startup? Thanks

                                            Pfsense starts all installed services during startup.
