Hello, I haven't seen this on this list since I've been here a week or so, I've been using testing redhats bind-config tool and it has caused me a nervous breakdown until today. When I use it to setup DNS files on a fresh installed machine, the zone files look fine yet don't work. I've found a few things by trial and error to share to see if others have discovered the same. After using the tool to create a couple of zones: 1st] /etc/named.conf The tool edits and saves a variety of empty lines, white spaces at the trailing end of most of the lines in the file, and if I open it with 'vi' in a gui terminal, I see RED boxes scattered all over the place [even over letters in comments]. So the first thing I do is clean up all the RED boxes, trailing 'white spaces' and excessive blank lines. 2nd] When the tool creates a zonefile, [for example kbtest.com.zone] it writes record as follows: www IN A 123.234.345.456 This will fail. -But- if I change it to: www.kbtest.com. IN A 123.234.345.456 along with the above fix to /etc/named.conf and restart named, the zones resolve and all is good.
