      @gertjan said in BIND config reset:

      Now we know that the first issue isn't an issue but the principale goal of the package :

      I guess I didn't think about the root hints. But yes that would allow external resolution without an external DNS server configured. Though its odd that there is not option to enable/disable root hints.

      the record with issue is "FreeNAS IN A 192.168.1.5"

      I pulled in a long-ish list of hostnames and as such I added them in the "Custom Zone Domain Records" section.

      BK01		IN A	192.168.99.50
      DC01		IN A	192.168.1.10
      ESXi01		IN A	192.168.99.101
      ESXi02		IN A	192.168.99.102
      minecraft	IN A	192.168.1.20
      Emby		IN A	192.168.1.21
      Operations	IN A	192.168.99.100
      Orchestrator	IN A	192.168.99.52
      pfSense		IN A	192.168.1.1
      FreeNAS		IN A	192.168.1.5
      Plex		IN A	192.168.1.6
      Transmission	IN A	192.168.1.7

      vESXi04		IN A 	192.168.3.104
      

      With a resulting zone file of:

      $TTL 43200

      $ORIGIN rack.center.
      
      ;	Database file rack.center.DB for rack.center zone.

      Slow code? Sounds like a good reason to buy more hardware!

        So your saying none of those resolve? What do you get back when you ask NX or ServFail?

        If you don't want bind client to be able to resolve - then set that up in your view.. Set it to no recursion if you only want to return what your authoritative for.

          @johnpoz I would get nothing. This is internal only. I see you responded before my edit. the host that would not resolve was freenas.rack.center

            what do you mean you would get nothing - you would get timeout?

              I just reinstalled again to pull everything. While the old config was still there, it seems to be working now. 😒
              I don't like when things fix themselves and offer no explanation.

                @johnpoz Excuse my ignorance I thought you were referencing and external DNS lookup service like mxtoolbox. I was getting not a valid domain from nslookup even though pfsense.rack.center worked fine.

                  Yeah that can be frustrating for sure - but if you were getting timeout, maybe it was restarting or for whatever reason it was trying to resolve it.. If it didn't think it had the record and it was authoritative for that zone you should of gotten NX.

                  Maybe the client did query for FreeNAS without the suffix or maybe it did FreeNAS.rack.center.rack.center but that should of returned NX..

                      We seem to be missing each others edits ;) Did you get my edit about views to prevent recursion.

                        @johnpoz Yes I did find the recursion setting in the view view. Thank you.
