Solaris

Hi guys,
I just got a new job. I'm working in an ISP and Datacenter, we have 2 DNS servers, a LINUX (primary), and a SUNOS (secondary). A few days ago we had an issue with some non-authoritative domains(not all, just some) in the SUNOS that can't be resolved.

The same domain in the LINUX box is resolved without no problem.*To be honest, this is the fist time I use SUNOS and I'm lost. Could you guys guide me a little?
Thank you!

This is who nslookup looks like

Code:

nslookup 
> server ns2.dnsserver.com
Default server: ns2.dnsserver.com
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#53
> set q=any
> domain.co.nz
Server:        ns2.dnsserver.com
Address:    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#53

** server can't find domain.co.nz: NXDOMAIN

The same with ns1.dnsserver.com is resolved like a champ.

Thanks!

Usually something like maybe active directory (or whatever) is in charge of keeping domain nameservers in sync. Yours seem to be out of sync. This is not default behavior.

the /etc/resolv file should have at least three entries like this

Code:

domain mydomain.com

nameserver 10.1.2.3
nameserver 10.2.2.2

The first name server is tried before the second one. I listed IP's in my example which is not always the best practice.

The Solaris box needs to look like the above - check it out. You also need to find out who/what is responsible for domain nameserver continuity. And get them back in sync. I am assuming the Solaris box is in the same world as is the linux box, and not behind a router or some firewall.

Hi!,
I don't see nothing unusual in resolv.conf, looks ok for me. 2 "search" and 5 "nameserver".

but...

search domain.com
nameserver localhost
...

That's ok? localhost like the first nameserver?

also, the non resolving's domains are not even ours... there are in autralia I think...

Thanks
