Hello, Setting up a new DNS server on Suse 11.0 (currently using Suse 9.3), however when testing the server from the outside I get an error saying that the MX records can't be found. The records under ./master look identical the records on the running 9.3 server. I can't find what the problem is. Using Check DNS shows; Answer from N/A: host mail.ourdomain.com not found. Some of your MX do not work properly Any ideas on how to fix this? Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Perhaps because bind in 11.0 by default is chrooted, so the files under /etc are not actually used, but a copy on the chrooted environment. Check those. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

/var/lib/named/ The init script should copy the files automatically. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Thank you, Carlos.

Where would I find those?

The default location is under /var/lib/named . Unless you've reconfigured it, the default was to run in a chrooted environment under 9.3. Looking at my ancient 9.1 system, it's been the default since at least then, and probably even before that.

The default location is under /var/lib/named . ~~~~~~~~~ Thanks guys. However that is where I update the files and the records on the 11.0 server are identical to the records on the 9.3 server in same location. Is there a dig command I can use to point to the 11.0 server to test the MX records? Maybe that will shed some light on what is going wrong. Again, many thanks.

Just the obvious things: you checked the firewall? You will want UDP/53 to be accepted by the server (for regular queries) and possibly TCP/53 for zone transfers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So the problem is the musicreports.com domain itself.
