Very Computer

Hi there

I guess this question has been answered thousand times before, but here
goes:

I'm running linux on my LAN, and it's acting as a nameserver for the
network. Now and then (maybe every 10 minutes?) it forces a dial-up on the
isdn-router we've got running. The isdn-router is at 192.168.1.1 and the
dns server is at 192.168.1.2. The default gw for the dns server is of
course .1. How do I prevent the dns server from sending these packets now
and then? I just want it to act as a dns for the LAN and as a caching
nameserver.

I'm running the bind-version that ships with slack8.0 (bind8, maybe?)

Hi Marius,

Im not sure, but try to set "heartbeat-interval 0;" in the options
section of your /etc/named.conf. If you have configured a slave zone,
you have to set it to "dialup yes;". As I can remember, this worked fine
for me.

Example:

options {

        [...some options stuff...]

        forward only;
        forwarders { xx.xx.xx.xx; } ;
        heartbeat-interval 0;
        };

zone "xx.xx.xx.xx.in-addr.arpa" IN {
       type slave;
       type forward;
       dialup yes;
       masters { xx.xx.xx.xx; };
       file "db.xx.xx.xx.xx";
       };

I have no slave zones.

I now have this in my named.conf:

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        forward only;
        forwarders ( 193.212.1.10; );
        listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.1.1;};
        heartbeat-interval 0;

Quote:};

zone "." IN {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";

Quote:};

zone "localhost" IN {
        type master;
        file "localhost.zone";
        allow-update { none; };

Quote:};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
        allow-update { none; };

Quote:};

zone "local.lan" {
        type master;
        file "local.lan";

Quote:};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "192.168.1";

Quote:};

Is this an ok setting for a dial-up box? I just want to server 192.168.1
and a fake domain "local.lan".

But, now I'm getting the following in my /var/log/messages:
May 15 23:00:26 gw named[1285]: ns_req: no address for root server

Any idea?

Marius

I figured this one out myself. Had to put the forwarders-option -before-
the forward only option. :) Duh..

                  ^^^^            ^^^^
I think these are the wronng brackets. Change this line to:

        forwarders { 193.212.1.10; };

Quote:>    listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.1.1;};
>    heartbeat-interval 0;
>};

[...]

looks o.k.

Quote:>But, now I'm getting the following in my /var/log/messages:

now it should work fine.

bye

Works in my setup even if I put in in my named.conf as I posted
yesterday. I think you have misspelled it ( see last article Ive
posted)
