Syslog translation....

Kathleen — Thu, 11 Jul 2002 15:43:08 GMT

What do these types of things mean in my syslog? This is on our L2000 with 11.0 running Openmail.

sysquery: query(66.115.47.86.naviantnetwork.net)
A RR negative cache entry (66.115.47.86.naviantnetwork.net:) learnt (NXDOMAIN=6
4.251.21.206:NS=66.115.47.84)

and another....
Response from unexpected source ([205.188.157.22
9].51)

and then these....
NSTATS 1026403052 1026259052 A=17135 NS=2 CNAME=
136 PTR=2653 MX=2806 AAAA=133 38=71 ANY=7993

Hi Kathleen,

Looks like the querylog/tracelog of a DNS (named) server.

Are you not running a name server there? (caching-only name server as it looks from the log you mentioned?)

Hope this helps,

Thanks

The first two options too?

Hello Kathleen,

Yes. They all relate to the named server logs.

A good source to learn about them in detail would be "DNS and Bind" from O Reilly.

The one from 10:57 looks like from an ndc dump, which shows the stats for a given period of run.

The first two resemble a trace/query log.

Hope this helps,

Thanks
