Domains will not resolve

[Petertjuh360]

Hello guys,

I discovered that new domains will not resolve to my nameserver.
IntoDNS says that my nameservers don't respond.

If I enable recursion for "any" the domains will resolve, but IntoDNS says it's better to have recursion off and recursion off worked before I got this problem.

Error message in log:

Jul 14 16:36:14 server1 named[20575]: client IP#48091: query (cache) 'domain/A/IN' denied

Kind Regards,
Peter

For recursion you should normally have this in your named.conf:

        allow-recursion { localnets; };

However, it's difficult to help and to look whats wrong without knowing the real nameservers which are having the problem.

Since there is a denied notice... either the domain is not present on your server, or did you deny query's?

allow-query {none;};

If you have this line, either remove it or change "none" to "any". And don't forget to restart named after it.

Hello Richard,

I had it set to localnets before.
It was the allow-query which I had to set to "any" to make it work again.
It must be changed or needed since an update of named.

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards,
Peter
