DNS Server no worky

[turbomettwurst]

Hi folks, i assume my problem is somewhat similar to http://forum.eboxplatform.com/index.php?topic=541.0
but i didn't want to hijack his thread, so here is my own. If you want to, you may merge it.

Currently my DNS Server does not work at all.

It's running and listening on all available interfaces

Code: [Select]

root@destiny:/etc/bind# netstat -aln | grep 53
tcp        0      0 10.10.10.1:53           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp        0      0 192.168.0.252:53        0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:53            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     

my resolv.conf is rather simple

Code: [Select]

root@destiny:/etc/bind# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.0.252
so is my hostsfile:

Code: [Select]

root@destiny:/etc/bind# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.252   destiny.mymk.local destiny

my named.conf.local has two zones

Code: [Select]

root@destiny:/etc/bind# cat named.conf.local
//
// Do any local configuration here
//

// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
// organization
//include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";

zone "mymk.local" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.mymk.local";
};

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.0.168.192";
};

and the zonefiles are in place

Code: [Select]

root@destiny:/etc/bind# ls -al
total 60
drwxr-sr-x   2 root bind 4096 2008-08-27 13:01 .

nevertheless it doesn't work

Code: [Select]

as ~ $  dig @192.168.0.252

And now for the real fun part:

i copied the entire /etc/bind/ directory to a different machine, started bind and it works (on that other machine)!

i "grepped -Hirn bind /var/log/ebox" but that didn't reveal anything either.

I am totally lost at the moment and would appreciate any pointers you guys could give me

Everything seems to be ok, and the fact that  the very same configuration is working in another machine makes it even more weird.

Ok, let's try some stuff:

Code: [Select]

/etc/init.d/bind9 stop
/etc/init.d/ebox dns restart
dig @127.0.0.1


[turbomettwurst]

not sure what this supposed to do... :-)

Code: [Select]

Can you try  this resolution request:

Code: [Select]

$ dig @127.0.0.1 www.google.es

To check if DNS cache server is working properly. Likewise, try a configured domain of your zone "mymk.local".

doesn't seem to work

[sixstone]

It seems like you don't have access to Internet from this DNS server. Try to add a default gateway in your eBox thru' "Network->Gateways".

Best regards,

[turbomettwurst]

Wee thx alot, that was it.. no idea at which point i lost my gateway though...

Ok, onto my next problem. New post :-)
