DNS Administration BUG

[fusionictnl]

Since one of my resellers added a new domain, the DNS Administration only shows a couple domains (the last added). All other domains aren't listed anymore, but on user level the domains still exists. DNS files still exists on the system and named is running correctly (at the moment).

Since last updates something probably changed ?!? (Multi-Server DNS ????). This happened when added a new domain on this server after the update and probably resulted in some new format and resulting in only showing the new domains!

My question is does anyone else experienced this or has a solution ?

Mailed support @ da and now I located to problem to be in the /etc/named.conf file. It only has one domain in it :s

So how can I let DA rewrite the /etc/named.conf

Look for /etc/named.conf.rpmsave

Then add all the domain lines in named.conf to the bottom of the /etc/named.conf.rpmsave file, and afterwards copy the /etc/named.conf.rpmsave file back to where it belongs in your system; depending on the system it may be at /etc/named.conf, or it may be somewhere else with a link at /etc/named.conf.

How to keep it from happening again?

My bet is you've got a Red Hat or Red Hat Enterprise Linux based system (including CentOS and/or WhiteBox Linux). And that you've got the cacheing-nameserver rpm installed.

But deleting it will cause your named.conf and named.ca file to be destroyed, and you need both.

So first find those files and "cp -p" them to someplace safe.

Then run as root:

rpm -e cacheing-nameserver

and then "mv" those two files back to where you got them from.

Note that it's definitely not a bug. Nor is it a feature.

It's a system misconfiguration error.

Note: we accept no responsibility for system destruction based on following these instructions.

The sysadmin on the server, upgraded named through a RPM :s As procedure is installing it through tarball. So yes the RPM install rotated it to rpmsave. John helped me nail down the problem.

Thanks!
