Yeah, it's old as hell. But, has worked fine until today. Problem is, I had it on manual updates and then, today, found out that sites could not be connected to via http, even though http is running. It seems there is a problem with dns, as even nslookup to any domain name will give an error.
------------
[#shell] nslookup somedomain.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

The only change I made was that I downgraded last night, to Mysql version 3 via WHM. The downgrade seemed to work fine. Then, today, got a call from a customer saying their site was down. Checked on it and damn, all sites were down. I then tried to login to ssh via a domain name and got nothing. Tried ssh via IP, and got in fine. Realized it was either http or named. Have concluded that it is name.
However, when I attempt to update CPanel or backend software or even MySQL, I get errors that the server cannot connect to
http://layer2.cpanel.net (could not find hostname).
So, the dns is hosed, I guess for some unknown reason. Now, I can't make any manual updates as it throws errors because it can't connect to the domain names.
/etc/resolv.conf is setup as it always has been.
/var/named has all sites listed as it always has
httpd.conf is working fine and rebooting httpd.conf works fine
rebooting bind gives a success message though, in services, it shows a red blinking error icon.
Can anyone help out with this. I have been using Cpanel for nearly 3 years, and I have never ran across this issue before.
