BIND DNS Server issue on Solaris 10

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi all,
I have some sort of problem with BIND DNS server my environment as follows.

bash-3.00# cat /etc/release
                       Solaris 10 6/06 s10s_u2wos_09a SPARC

bash-3.00# uname -v
Generic_139555-08

bash-3.00# named -v
BIND 9.3.6-P1

A snippet from /etc/named.conf

bash-3.00# head -35 /etc/named.conf
options {
DIRECTORY "/var/named";
};

logging{
  channel simple_log {
    file "/var/log/named/bind.log" versions 3 size 5m;
    severity error ;
    print-time yes;
    print-severity yes;
    print-category yes;
  };
  category default{
    simple_log;
  };
};

zone "." in {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};

zone "domain2.TLD.ccTLD" in {
type master;
file "domain2.TLD.ccTLD";
allow-transfer { none; };
};

zone "domain1.TLD.ccTLD" in {
type master;
file "domain-info";
allow-transfer { none; };
};

Zone file for the domain1.TLD.ccTLD

bash-3.00# cat  /var/named/domain-info
@       IN SOA ns.domain1.TLD.ccTLD. hostmaster.domain1.TLD.ccTLD. (

3600    ;Retry timer - 1 hour
604800  ;Expire timer - 1 week
86400   ;Minimum timer - 1 day
)
domain1.TLD.ccTLD. IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
domain1.TLD.ccTLD. IN NS   ns.domain1.TLD.ccTLD.  ; primary

www       IN A    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ns           IN A    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
mail         IN A    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

domain1.TLD.ccTLD. IN MX 10 mail.domain1.TLD.ccTLD.
domain1.TLD.ccTLD. IN MX 25 mail.mis.domain1.TLD.ccTLD.
mail.domain1.TLD.ccTLD. IN CNAME mail.domain1.TLD.ccTLD.

Zone file for the domain2.TLD.ccTLD

bash-3.00# cat /var/named/domain2.TLD.ccTLD
$TTL    86400 ; 24 hours could have been written as 24h or 1d
@  IN        SOA ns1.domain2.TLD.ccTLD.     hostmaster.domain2.TLD.ccTLD. (
                              2000401 ; serial
                              3h ; refresh
                              15m ; retry
                              1w ; expire
                              3h ; minimum
                             )
IN  NS     ns1.domain2.TLD.ccTLD. ; in the domain


; server host definitions
ns1     IN  A      xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  ;name server definition
www   IN  A      xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  ;web server definition

A snippet from the /var/log/named/bind.log shows the following.

bash-3.00# tail -1 /var/log/named/bind.log
18-Nov-2011 11:02:40.869 general: error: zone domain2.TLD.ccTLD/IN: has no NS records
bash-3.00#

A snippet from dig output

bash-3.00# dig domain2.TLD.ccTLD

Any idea would be a great assist

You'll have to change the line

IN  NS     ns1.domain2.TLD.ccTLD. ; in the domain

to

domain2.TLD.ccTLD. IN  NS     ns1.domain2.TLD.ccTLD. ; in the domain

Besides, defining mail.domain1.TLD.ccTLD. as a CNAME for itself is quite strange.

Thanks pludi I didn't notice that and for the CNAME alias it's just a typo neglect it its defined as follows.

mail.domain2.TLD.ccTLD. IN CNAME webmail.domain2.TLD.ccTLD.

Now I want the primary to allow zone transfer to some slave DNS server .
What do I need exactly ?

New question, new thread please.
