Recursive DNS

I can’t seem to figure out how to get my server to answer recursive DNS requests from other boxes on my network as well as Net::DNS. I found some DJBDNS instructions, but I think I jsut botched them up because it didn’t really help at all. How can I change this?

Net::DNS always reports:

t/10-recurse...............ok 5/12Server [205.218.65.34] did not give answers at /root/downloads/Net-DNS-0.59/blib/lib/Net/DNS/Resolver/Recurse.pm line 86.
Server [205.218.65.34] did not give answers at /root/downloads/Net-DNS-0.59/blib/lib/Net/DNS/Resolver/Recurse.pm line 86.

What is your /etc/resolv.conf set as?

Well, I tried many different things, 205.218.65.34 being one of the IPs on the box.

It was originally set to 127.0.0.1. It now has that has secondary and another IP of a DNS cache on my broadband network as the primary. Net::DNS passes make test now, but the ultimate goal of getting Spamassassin setup to work with RBLs isn’t working (not sure why). I’d also like to make that server a cache anyway.

Johan,

Check out these docs:

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-x.html

That’s the easiest way to get it setup.

I believe I started to do that, but saw conflicts with how the system was already setup. Should I pursue that anyway? I don’t have any objections, I just don’t want to break anything in Interworx.

Johan, let me do this. I have to setup 2 of these anyway and I’ll do a brief HOWTO and link it here.

Meaning you’ll setup two on your own, and then link the howto so I can see how to do it on mine

or

you want to do it on my box?

will setup on own in few mins here and link to how it’s done.

Up and running, thanks much.

On my machine, its /service, not /services.

It’s /service on mine too :D… fixed.

Everyone else is happy. I’m even able to query it from my laptop at home. However, Net::DNS still will not work. I changed resolve.conf to point to the IP address I set it up on.

Trying to get all of the required packages for SpamAssassin installed so I can start to use RBLs I’m working on in another thread.

I’d leave 127.0.0.1 in your resolv.conf Johan. Open a ticket and I’ll look at the Net::DNS issue if you provide me a simple way to reporduce it.
