DNS

[kdc]

I am unable to resolve an address from my secondary domain. I can successfully resolve this site from my primary domain. The two domains have different versions of bind. Primary has 8 and the secondary is still at 4.9.7.
Example
Primary can resolve www.xxx.ca which is an alias to www.xxx.com.
Secondary can resolve www.xxx.com only, not ww.xxx.ca.

If I do an nslookup www.xxx.com primary_name_server.com it works. I do have an entry in the /etc/resolv.conf file

Any suggestions

Whatis that entry in the resolv.conf file?

BTW: Bind versions < 8 are serious SECURITY risks!!!!

Hi,

check the resolv.conf on your secondary server.

Does nslookup www.xxx.ca secondary_name_server work?

xxx.ca and xxx.com imply two different domains. Is your secondary a slave to both xxx.ca and xxx.com? Are there other entries in xxx.ca? If so, try this on your secondary server:
nslookup>
> ls xxx.ca

This will show if it has any information for that domain. Otherwise, try removing the db.xxx.ca file (or whatever you called in) on your secondary and HUP the named process so that the table is rebuilt. Only do this after verifying that the xxx.ca domain is properly setup on the secondary.

Hi
remove www.xxx.ca map from seconday or move to different name then run
#sig_named restart
This will reread the maps from primary servers.
Watch /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log at same time.
