I've been asked to have a look at a formerly sunctional DNS server as
the admin is away on maternity leave. They had the root disk die on it
and would like it up and running again. I have never touched DNS
before, but here goes. The site has two, one works fine, resolving both
internally and externally, the other only resolves internal names and
times out on external. They have a old copy of the original HDD that I
am selectively copying files back from.
The /etc/named.conf file exist on both machines. Only the
non-functional had a /etc/named.boot file...
The /var/named directory exists and both have good looking named.ca,
named.local, named.<domain>, db.cache & db.<domain> files...
Are there and quick places to check, which file/ stanza instructs
in.named to interrogate a ROOT server...
Any pointers would be great,
David
