What does "sysquery: no addrs found for root NS ()" mean?

[martin2hui]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone DNS expert can explain to me why DNS prompted me in such error under syslog.?
----------------------------------------------
Oct 27 18:28:20 mydns1 named[27344]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS ()
Oct 27 18:28:22 mydns1 named[27344]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (dns1.anicent.net)
Oct 27 18:28:22 mydns1 named[27344]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (dns2.anicent.net)
Oct 27 18:28:57 mydns1 named[27344]: ns_req: no address for root server
-------------------------------------------
Thank you.

Best regards,

martin

Hi AW,

I have this information in my DNS. I cannot dig out any error. Any valuable advice.

# cat root.hint
. IN NS root.dns1.anicent.net.
. IN NS root.dns2.anicent.net.

root.dns1.anicent.net. 13 IN A 20x.20y.13x.11y
root.dns2.anicent.net. 13 IN A 20x.12y.21x.9y

Thank you.

Best regards,

martin

Hi,

This happened on your system which setup as primary DNS, secondary DNS or client ?

Is the system run properly before or this is a new setup ? Any update on your system recently ? (eg. patching, software, etc)

If new setup, please check this url (docID : HONCIKKBRC00000042) about 'How to configure a DNS primary server,secondary server and client' :

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000079994038

Hope this information can help you.

Wait for your reply.

Cheers,
AW

HI AW,

My machine is not a new setup and running quite smoothly except yesterday's event. I haven't done any patch since a year ago.

This syslog problem last for an hour and can resume back to normal eventually by DNS itself.

I am trying to dig out the reason for this.

Thank you for your help

Best regards,
