axfr M$

I've set up a box to host a bunch of 2nd level domains with tinydns.
The organization apparently has a document with all the domains and IPs,
but it seemed like a good idea to use AXFR to insure actual data is used
to populate the new server.

Unfortunately when I called the hosting company the support techs had
absolutely no idea what a zone transfer was, or even what kind of dns
server the admins were using. Eventually I found out it's some kind of
Microsoft dns server, but they still couldn't grasp the concept of what
I want to do.

Can a M$ DNS server transfer zones? Is there some keyword I can tell
them which they will recognise and understand? Or would I be better off
querying each domain and processing the answers?

Not the worst idea, when the partner server's OS and DNS software
implementation are unknown. It's ugly and kludgey, IMHO, but all DNS
software supports it AFAIK.

If these people are responsible for your DNS, find another hosting
company. Seriously. Even competent M$ admins know what zone transfers
and AXFR are.

M$ DNS servers understand AXFR just like BIND does. By default, IIRC,
Win2K Active Directory DNS servers restrict AXFR to AD domain members,
but changing that is trivial.

Again, if they have not understood after you have said "zone transfer"
and "AXFR", find another hosting company.

Problems with gcc 2.95.3 on ARM Linux

On a system with the systype

    linux-2.4.0-test1-ac7-rmk1-crl2-:-:-:armv4l-:-

and GCC version

    gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease)

compilation seems to hang on tryulong32.c.  Removing -O2 from the 
compiler flags fixes the problem, as does adding a function like

    void x2(unsigned long *u) { *u += *u; }

to the top of the file and replacing ``u += u;'' with ``x2(&u);''

Delegation problem (a novice in djbdns)

i already have dnscache and tinydns 'working' in my box, my problem is
that it seems that network solutions and cheap-domainregistration.com is not recognizing my
dns server, i have 4 domain names 1 registered with network solutions, gatewayphil.com , and
the remaining 3 at cheap-domainregistration.com , philmaps.com trafephil.com and go2phil.biz
i have 2 tinydns running on the same box with different ip addreses one at 202.163.203.50
and the other at 202.163.51, heres my /service/tinydns/root/data file
.gatewayphil.com:202.163.203.50:a:259200
.203.163.202.in-addr.arpa:202.163.203.50:a:259200
+www.gatewayphil.com:202.163.203.50:86400
+go2phil.biz:202.163.203.50:86400
+www.go2phil.biz:202.163.203.50:86400

+tradephil.com:202.163.203.51:86400
+www.tradephil.com:202.163.203.51:86400

gatewayphil.com is working only because i'm using my isp's dns as back up dns
TAYUMAN.SULAT.COM            203.172.11.21
MONUMETO.SULAT.COM           203.172.11.25

    Looks like you got that problem fixed. What was causing it?

dnscache guidance request

I'm starting to go around in circles.  It's difficult to find a single
source for all the answers.  I have setup two 
tinydns systems, which seem to be functioning okay.  I have setup two
dnscache servers, which seem to be 
working, except for several bugs, which, because I am the typical overloaded
IT person, I have not been able to 
fully figure out yet, and so I am requesting some guidance at the very least
as these difficulties are becoming urgent.

1.  I am unclear as to what each of these dnscache systems should have in
the /etc/resolve.conf file.

They are:

ns1.rpaeurope.com  192.168.1.17
ns4.rpaeurope.com  192.168.1.25

ns1 /etc/resolve.conf file content:

search	rpaeurope.com

nameserver  192.168.1.25
nameserver  192.168.1.17

ns4 /etc/resolve.conf file content:

search	rpaeurope.com

nameserver  192.168.1.17
nameserver  192.168.1.25

No.  What you posted looks fine.

I don't know what testing procedures you're referring too.  The

Go to <http://google.com/>. Type "dnscache-showctl" into the text box.
Press "I'm Feeling Lucky". If you type "dnscache -showctl", you won't
find it, because "-showctl" as a separate word means "omit pages that
contain 'showctl'".

RE: djbdns

 Hi People, 

I was trying to start the dns (dnscache and tinydns) to work but it says that their port is already in use. Is
there a netstat command that associates PID to a netstat output? I am using Solaris 8.

I have been looking in all the search engines but no luck so far.

BR, 

Joaquin
