reverse dns setup in fedora 5 and whm?

[drsprite]

I'm trying to add reverse DNS. I'm using the same config I had on RedHat 9. I changed OS to Fedora 5 today, and I can't add reverse zones using WHM.

So I'm trying to do it manually and I get stuck.


I added the following:

/etc/named.conf:

zone "123.124.125.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "/var/named/123.124.125.arpa.db";
};

I added the file /var/named/123.124.125.arpa.db and in that file I have:

$ORIGIN 123.124.125.in-addr.arpa.
$TTL 900

@ SOA ns1 hostmaster.whatever.com. (
2005090706 ; Serial, Todays Date + Todays Serial #
3h ; Refresh
1h ; Retry
1w ; Expire
1h ) ; Cache

NS ns1.whatever.com.
NS ns2.whatever.com.

204 PTR whatever.com.
205 PTR ns1.whatever.com.
206 PTR ns2.whatever.com.

When I do a service named restart I get the following:

zone 123.124.125.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading master file /var/named/123.124.125.arpa.db: file not found
_default/123.124.125.in-addr.arpa/IN: file not found
[FAILED]



What am I missing? Probably the obvious.

The file DOES exist... yet it says it can't find it.

I DO have rDNS auth with my data center.

Thanks for any help...

Is your named running in a chroot jail? If so, then you'd need to put the zone file in /var/named/chroot/var/named/
