Problem getting bind to work in 2.2

volkans80

I also can't setup bind but i can see resulting conf file box when i create a view and select it from zone edit page.

When i run a query it gives Server Failed now.

I activated full logging but only starting and stopping logs are logged. I can't see query logs or why server failed.

Any suggestion?

Services > DNS forwarder - Turn it off

Services > DNS Resolver - Turn it on.

DNSSEC on

Under advanced tab at top of DNS resolver page >

Prefetch Support

Prefetch DNS Key Support

Harden Glue

Harden DNSSEC data

All On….

System: General Setup:

Remove all the DNS server IP you have listed

Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN - unchecked

Do not use the DNS Forwarder as a DNS server for the firewall - unchecked

Don't forget to click "save" after every page you change.

Thanks for your help.

I also found my mistake and add NS record and it works now.

@kejianshi those are for unbound, they are asking about BIND

kejianshi

haha - Thats what I get for not paying attention! :-\

johnpoz

Well the one guy thanked you. Guess he isn't paying much attention either ;) hehehe

kejianshi

He was being polite to the idiot (me)

What I don't get is if the guy just needs a mx record why not just do it in unbound

In the advanced section
local-data: "example.com. 86400 IN MX 10 mail.example.com."

Then there you go – mx record..

C:>dig example.com mx

Not sure - He has probably been running BIND for years and didn't want to leave the devil he knows?

Nothing wrong with BIND.

Im a big fan of it as well - but seems like a lot of work to get a mx record ;) The way I read his post pfsense was working, which I assume he was either using the resolver or forwarder with and just needed a way to get a mx record for a local domain. Trying to install bind seems like a pain when it takes click click to get a simple mx record.

Thanks I'll give it a go. (As it happens I did what I should've done in the first place and kept the dns off the firewall.)

Yes, I only needed a single MX record (but now my lab is getting larger). And yes, as someone commented, I have used bind for years - but I'm always open to try new ways of skinning the virtual cat :)

Unbound is simple - I'm sure you can handle it with ease.
