Re: [nznog] Weird DNS Problems

Have now fixed the issues that were occurring. Thanks for all the help from everyone. Cheers Don Stokes wrote:

Is your name server using the IP address you think it's using? If it's on Citylink and has a WIX address as well as 210.48.106.196, you may find that the actual address the queries use is the WIX address, which isn't globally routable. The same applies to non-routable link addresses.

If your name server does have multiple IP addresses that's the case, you can force BIND to make queries using your host's "official" address using:

query-source address 210.48.106.196 port *;

within your options { ... } block.

Hey Guys,

Was wondering if anyone could help out with this. Just two days ago we started to experience DNS problems resolving international addresses. The DNS servers are configured with no forwarders and go directly out. We can resolve NZ addresses but nothing else. Norhing's changed on the DNS severs and the problem just started happening.

Link is going out on Citylink through to ICONZ. Any ideas? or help?

Cheers J
