Does anyone here this forum that can help me solve this problem?

If you have someone who knows about Debian I would ask for help.

The Problem:


mail:/etc/bind# dig -x 118.xx.xx.xxx @127.0.0.1

That looks like a perfectly normal response to a reverse DNS query.

In the future, please do not report posts unless they violate one of the site rules.

Sorry, but i thought I should don't mention my place only.

And is not normal because I did a test on a site that there error of reverse DNS.

mail:/etc/bind# nslookup xxx.xx.xx.118
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find 118.xx.xx.xxx.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN

Thanks!!!

Yes, but in one case you're looking up the ip address xxx.xx.xx.118, and in the other, 118.xx.xx.xxx. Thus you would not expect to see the same results.

The correct it would appear the same domain name, so:

mail:/etc/bind# nslookup mydomain.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Name: mydomain.com
Address: xxx.xx.xx.118


And not so:

mail:/etc/bind# nslookup xxx.xx.xx.118
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find 118.xx.xx.xxx.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN

Because he is not finding its reverse.

Do you has any suggestion?


Thanks!!!

Try this:
This should show you the server responding to the reverse DNS query. The nameservers that appear in the "Authority Section" should have reverse records (that is, PTR records) for your IP & hostname. See the BIND documentation or http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5....e-reverse.html for setting up reverse zones and PTR records if you are the administrator of the authoritative server.

The information that you went to also apply in the Debian because I never used the CentOS.

Below are my files:



mail:/etc/bind# dig -x xxx.xx.xx.118 @127.0.0.1

Hi jcvalim

Have you contacted your ISP for the delegation of the reverse zone for the IPs you own? Because after more that a month from your last post the situation looks the same.

BTW the documentation for setting up a nameserver using bind, is the same regardless theOS. The only thing that might change is the installation and the location of the various files needed. The zone file format is always the same.
