dns zone transfert

My first thought would be to check the ownership/permissions on the /var/lib/bind/rentsellbuy.com.hosts file on the slave. Be sure the UID of the BIND process has rights to write to this file.

To help diagnose the problem try

dig axfr rentsellbuy.com @192.168.1.8

Do that from 192.168.1.9 to check if the server is actually allowing the transfer.
If it is then you know to focus your troubleshooting on 192.168.1.9.

Let us know what happens.

the dig return all the record in the dns with no error

here what i get for a specific domain
Testing transfer of slave zone from 192.168.1.8 ..
.. from 192.168.1.8 : Failed : ; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> IN AXFR gcilogistic.net @192.168.1.8 ;; global options: +cmd ; Transfer failed.

ok everything is fixed exept one

i get this error on the apply zone

NDC command failed : WARNING: key file (/etc/bind/rndc.key) exists, but using default configuration file (/etc/bind/rndc.conf) rndc: 'reload' failed: bad zone

What exactly did you type to get that last error?

i did the apply zone in webmin

I'm not familiar with webmin, do you see any errors in the messages file (or custom BIND logs) from running that command?  What happens when you restart BIND?  Do you have rndc.key and the config options in named.conf AND in /etc/bind/ ?  What does the command 'rndc status' give back?

im not familiar to with manual command, it just start to learn linux
so can you help me about what to type

thanks

First just type the following

rndc status

Pasting your named.conf and any files that may be included is always a good thing to do to help us find the correct answers to your questions.

here the named.conf

key rndc-key {
      algorithm hmac-md5;
      secret "W6hWYcEuqpoWMUsM4rIKbQ==";
      };
controls {
      inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { rndc-key; };
      };
server 192.168.1.9 {
      };

i did what you said and i got this error message

NDC command failed : rndc: neither /etc/bind/rndc.conf nor /etc/bind/rndc.key was found

if i do that, when i start bind it fail
there is log somewhere

found the error have to remove keys { rndc-key; };


controls {
      inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { rndc-key; };
      };

but now i get this error

NDC command failed : WARNING: key file (/etc/bind/rndc.key) exists, but using default configuration file (/etc/bind/rndc.conf) rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that * the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, * this host is not authorized to connect, * the clocks are not synchronized, or * the key is invalid.

ok some modification has been made

now i got this message
NDC command failed : rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused

ok this also has been fix but now when i do named check conf

ok forget about my question, everything has been solved

the reason is inside my gcilogistic.com i had a A record with a underscore

removing that has corrected the problem
