BIND Reverse zone file problem

Post by yasser » 2015/07/04 02:29:03

Hi all,

here is my reverse zone configuration:

$TTL 24h
@ IN SOA server.homelab.ma. root.homelab.ma. (
9 ; serial
1D ; refresh
1H ; retry
1W ; expire
3H ) ; minimum

IN NS server.homelab.ma.
1 IN PTR server.homelab.ma.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When i do: #named-chechzone homelab.ma /var/named/homelab.rev
i get this error message:
zone homelab.ma/IN: NS 'server.homelab.ma' ahs no address records (A or AAAA)
zone homelab.ma/IN: not loaded due to errors.

// the IP address of server is 192.168.1.1

thank you.

It tells you what's wrong. There are no address records in there. You need to add at least one.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Yes, when i add:
IN A 192.168.1.1
it works, but in all tutoriel that i saw, they don't add this line, and they don't get error message when they execute named-checkzone !
