Bind, DDNS and inetd

[James M. Dunn]

All,

I work at a company that has 5 bind servers and one DDNS server.

3 external BIND servers
2 internal that forward to the externals (domain.com)
1 DDNS (domain.pvt)


The DDNS server forwards requests to the 2 internals, cant find info there the request is forwarded to the externals then to the outside world.

The DDNS is in a domain.pvt and the UNIX is in the domain.com.

I notice that if the records get foo'd on the DDNS servers the UNIX servers will slowly stop responding to telnet or login request regardless on which system is attempting to access the UNIX servers. Even telneting between UNIX to UNIX within the same domain space becomes lathagic.

Why does this happen? Have any of you run into this kind of situation?
