My 2nd IPV6 nameserver is not responding according to the following report.

http://www.dnsinspect.com/cheazey.net/1473272897

According to the report, it does not have a serial number like the other IP4/IP6 addresses listed as my nameservers. Anyone who can help me fix this? Any help would be very much appreciated.
 
Hello,

If you want a private assistance please feel to contact me (or other guys who offers server support) via PM or through my web-site (see my signature lines).

If you want to fix it yourself then please provide more information without masquerading anything. What do you see with:

Code:
ifconfig
 
Thanks for replying. I would like to learn how to fix this myself. I hope you can help me do that. This is what I see:

Well... what you have with:

Code:
netstat -ntpl | egrep "named|bind"

and

Code:
iptables-save | grep \ 53

Try

0. restart named
1. disable firewall
3. to add "2604:4300:a:207::1/64" to the interface and move ns1 to 2604:4300:a:207::1.
4. or move ns1/ns2 to another IPv6, currently 2604:4300:a:207::2 and 2604:4300:a:207::3 are responding to DNS queries.

I fixed it as per your advice. Moved the nameserver from 2604:4300:a:207:: to 2604:4300:a:207::3

But may I ask why 2604:4300:a:207:: does not reply to nameserver queries? And how do I do a DNS query for IPV6 in shell for example? Thank you for the help. Very much appreciated!
 
I don't have answer to your question. I need to investigate the issue myself if you want more details.

As for DNS, read how to use nslookup and dig.
 
Thank you. I looked it up to learn about it. Off-topic question if you don't mind. Is it better for DA to be installed in CentOS 7 than in CentOS 6? I am currently using CentOS 6.8 and the OpenSSL support is only until 1.0.1e. Is CentOS 7.2 stable to use now and do you know what OpenSSL version it currently supports? Thank you.
 
DA does not care which OS you run. It's your own choice what OS to choose. If I started a new server now I would definitely choose CentOS 7.0.
