root hints
1 TopicZoneRunner and custom root hints
Hi, I am fighting with customizing root hints used by ZoneRunner (on VE 13.0.0HF2), I did everything according to this article Configuring a root.hint zone for use with the BIG-IP DNS system but I failed. If I paste content of the file get from link in article root hints then dig . NS @ is working. If I modify IP in any entry in db.external.named.root. (doing stop start for named and zrd after mod) like changing . 3600000 NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 198.41.0.4 A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 AAAA 2001:503:ba3e::2:30 to . 3600000 NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 198.41.0.5 A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 AAAA 2001:503:ba3e::2:30 I am getting exactly same response to my query - no change in IP for A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET If I delete all entries and leave something like that: . 3600000 NS mydns.test.com. mydns.test.com. 3600000 A 192.168.1.254 ;A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 AAAA 2001:503:ba3e::2:30 then response to the same query is server failure What I am doing wrong then, or maybe it's a bug? My goal is to send all queries from LDNS to my DNS server that then should be responsible to provide answer to A query. In situation like described BIG-IP is handling recursion, sending requests to all NS in a chain (starting from root) - not what I need. Piotr347Views0likes0Comments
