HA Config BIND DNS sync setup problem

bolvar

Hy everyone!

I have a made a HA cfg with 1 public ip, and everythings looking good, only the plus BIND DNS i didnt know how to sync.
In the doc i didint find anything usefull.

Sometime i got a random error:
A communications error occurred while attempting to call XMLRPC method host_firmware_version:

But this is for the dns resolve i gues from the logs.

Could someone help the sync with the BIND DNS?
Now i set up the option to sync the cfg system backup server but nothing has been synced.

Thanks for the help!

I have solved the problem...

You need to set up a few thing.
First in the bind dns under views you need to set up the your ha port at match-clients,
and in the custom views you have to allow the ip of the second node.
After that in the zone you need to allow to transfer for the ha port to.
And in the sync you need to select to sync to backup server.

And now it is working for me.

But not almost solved the problem.
I have made a factory reset on my secondary node, the bind config sync workes, but when i made a change on the HA and check with az mxtoolbox the dns check it fails for my dns server. I saw in the logs that the query comes in and the answere goes out but it says that my dns not responding.

Anybody has a solution for this?

@kiokoman

Today i will do a swap again from the primary server, and look around it but i think yesterday there was nothing special in the logs.

@kiokoman

Sadly nothing in the logs.I saw in the firewall logs that i get a dns query from outside but it gets an answere.

i usually use dig to test my bind9, i don't have HA though
try with https://www.digwebinterface.com/
put your host and your ns ip (specify myself:)
and see if it's answering or not
something like this

@kiokoman

Thanks but i cannot se how can this help me :D
An mxtoolbox is the same, and the problem is when i change to the secondary node, my dns is not respondig, cant test with this tool. My backup name server runing only.

bolvar

Here is the log:

When i test from mxtoolbox i get a pass, but on the web page it says unreacheble.

Nobody has any ide what am i doing wrong? :/

bolvar

Nobody expert on this problem?
The question is that im thinking on that now i have the ha cfg with one master server and in another site i have a slave cfg-ed.
In this case in the HA cfg i need to setup my backup node bind dns to master?

bolvar

I think i found the problem.

In slave state the zone file didnt get generated.
If i sate the state on my secondary node to master to zone file get generated, and mxtoolbox query workes.

Someone can give advise about this?

kiokoman

you should check allow-transfer / allow-notify / allow-update statement, make a screenshot of your configuration if you can, just hide sensitive information, hard to tell without more info

bolvar

@kiokoman

Under Bind dns advanced future custom option i have allow notify and update,i need here the allow transfer to?

kiokoman

idk i don't have bind installed on pfsense, i have a dedicated server for bind9 and to transfer from my master to the slave i have it configured like this:

server 172.17.0.100 {
        keys {
                rndc-key;
        };
};

server  2001:470:b682:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffe {
        keys {
                rndc-key;
        };
};
..................

zone "kiokoman.eu.org" {
        type master;
        allow-transfer {151.3.106.211; 2001:470:b4e1:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffe; 192.168.10.202; 2001:470:26:5dc:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffd;};
        also-notify {151.3.106.211; 2001:470:b4e1:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffe; 192.168.10.202; 2001:470:26:5dc:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffd;};
        file "/etc/bind/external/pri.kiokoman.eu.org.signed";
        auto-dnssec maintain;
        update-policy local;
        };

on one of the slave:

server 172.17.0.100 {
        keys {
                rndc-key;
        };
};

server  2001:470:b682:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffe {
        keys {
                rndc-key;
        };
};
...............................
zone "kiokoman.eu.org" {
        type slave;
        masters {172.17.0.100; 2001:470:b682:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffe;};
        file "/etc/bind/external/pri.kiokoman.eu.org.signed";
        };

under xfer-out.log and xfer-in.log ( channel xfer-in_file / channel xfer-out_file)

if something go wrong you should check/rise verbosity of that log
