[SOLVED] BIND setup. How?

[bogong]

Just tried to use DNS Resolver instead of BIND. The same issue - it looks like it adding to pfSense DB but not adding it to configs. I've done adding the myhost.example.com through the DNS resolver

In dig command reply I've got this:

$ dig @127.0.0.1 myhost.example.com ANY

; <<>> DiG 9.12.2-P1 <<>> @127.0.0.1 myhost.example.com ANY
; (1 server found)

It looks like web UI isn't adding anything into config files but it's appearing in pfSense UI DB.

Just tried to check permissions (I've been adding not under "admin" user) - under "admin" user the same issue appeared.

Where did you get the idea that ANY is going to return anything?

Do an actual query for a FQDN that you entered!

in your example there your fully qualified name would be

myhost.myhost.example.com no myhost.example.com

ANY hasn't been a valid sort of query for long time!

Got it! It's working! Thanks.

Also bind works too - did you hit save? If you do not hit save where you create your zone, then the config will not be generated.. Also you will need to create a view that your zone is in, etc...

[bogong]

@johnpoz For BIND I did everything that you mentioning. But nothing appeared for me. Only DNS Resolver working right now. And really don't know why. What I see from screenshot - the diff is createview, I havent't it. In my version it's empty.

[johnpoz]

You have to hit the SAVE button!!

Outside off the zone.. Then go back into your zone and you will see your conf file..

@johnpoz What I see from screenshot - the diff is createview, I havent't it. In my version it's empty.

[johnpoz]

You didn't create a view would be my guess!

[bogong]

@johnpoz Yes. I've been pressing this button. For me creating view is a little new way. I've been only writing configs for BIND on pure FreeBSD. What does it mean VIEW?

[johnpoz]

You have been using bind for how long? And you don't know what a view is?

it determines what a specific client will be able to view in the zone..

@johnpoz About 10 years. I've been only writing zone files and add it in named.conf and everything was working. From now started to read about it. Thanks a lot.

Views have been around a REALLY Long time!! Pretty sure views have been available since the release of 9, like 2000 was it?
