zone transfert failure

Post by wkuypers »

Hello,

I have changed the principal dns servers of storia.be on saturday.
I have done today a zone delete and a zone transfert.

Dnsreport.com indicates everything is ok. But when i use the domain test on your site, it still indicates the old server.

Your dns servers don't seem to be able to get the right zone. DNS report tells me
ERROR: Your nameservers disagree as to which version of your DNS is the latest (2006111701 versus 2006112001). This is OK if you have just made a change recently, and your secondary DNS servers haven't yet received the new information from the master. I will continue the report, assuming that 2006112001 is the correct serial #. The serial numbers reported by each DNS server are:
208.11.75.3: 2006111701
216.90.171.3: 2006111701
91.121.1.101: 2006112001

Obviously the latest one is correct 2006112001.

Thanks for helping.

If you changed master servers, and the master is referred to by name, it could be cached. Change the master to its current IP address. If you want to use the DNS name, change it back later after the updates are successful.

It means your nameserver is not authoritative for that zone; you'll need to fix that before the secondary transfer can happen.

An authoritative nameserver has zone information defined on it (i.e. a master or secondary), non-authoritative servers, like caches, get data from authoritative servers while caching and expiring it.

again dsnreport.com tells me :

OK. Your SOA (Start of Authority) record states that your master (primary) name server is: ns22335.ovh.net.. That server is listed at the parent servers, which is correct.

that is what I configured in rollernet.us

thanks for looking into it

The SOA record doesn't always mean that server will respond authoritatively; or it could be misconfigured. (The SOA server should, but the field is actually arbitrary.)

OK, the problem was that after updating the dns server, restarting the service wasn't sufficient.
The problem is solved, thanks
