DNS manager validation

[huglester]

Hello,

One of users entered this: www.*.team
as a name padameter ir DNS manager, later I was not able to start bind server.

Can the DNS validation be updates with this scenario?

Thank you!

Hello,

You may configure bind/named to not use named-checkzone, in case you do so, the failed zone will be ignored but named will still start. You did not specify your OS so I won't give you detailed instructions.

Thanks for answer.
My OS is CentOS 6.4, with directadmin 1.42 (I should have it updated probably ).

As I have spotted, that named was working despite adding new hosts, just stop/start did not work until I manually removed those *bad* entries.

Thanks

That's normal as named-checkzone is used only once on service (re-)start.

For CentOS you should modify /etc/sysconfig/named and add a new line:

DISABLE_ZONE_CHECKING=yes

# DISABLE_ZONE_CHECKING  -- By default, initscript calls named-checkzone
#                           utility for every zone to ensure all zones are
#                           valid before named starts. If you set this option
#                           to 'yes' then initscript doesn't perform those
#                           checks.
