DNS cluster not resolving

[Xisco]

Hello.

I'm sorry if this question has been posted before... I didn't found it.

We have two servers in DNS clustered mode, both with WHM 11.23.2 cPanel 11.23.6-R26881 and properly configured (I think).

- One synchronizes DNS to the other in both directions and DNS zones can be edited on the two servers.
- Server one and server two are configured in whois and DNS entries to be the NS servers for these zones.

But...

When one server is asked for NS info for a domain hosted in the other you only get an empty response, only with DNS ROOT servers.

ie:

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

How can I configure both servers to correctly answer for all the zones?

Thank you,
Xisco.

Make sure that you configured both as "Synchronize Changes"

Hi, yolau.

Both are configured as "Synchronize Changes" and synchronize all zones each other. Both servers have the information of all zones but each server only answers for that zones hosted on it.

I have the same problem. I only have one domain set up on the cpanel so far.

The domain appears to sync to the clusters because it shows up in the /var/named/domain.com.db of the nameservers, but does not show in /var/log/messages as reloading when named is restarted.

When queried, it answers non-authoritative

All servers are set to synchronize.

there is no zone listed in the named.conf nor is there ref to an include file that contains the zone

[miahac]

I added the following to /etc/named.conf after // BEGIN external zone entries. This is is the main server domain so hopefully this is fixed with customer domains.


zone "domain.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/domain.com.db";
};
