Search Again: Re: Quickdns-Talk Digest #25 - 20/06/97 From: Millsop, Randy Date: Wednesday, July 2, 1997 Time: 8:26:00 pm A positive note about 1.1.2 running smoothly..... I've been running it on both Primary and Secondary since the day it was released. The Primary is dedicated and I've only restarted it once in 4 weeks, and that was because I moved it. The Secondary has been restarted many times, but because of changes to other services running on the same system. Hardware/software: Primary = 50,000 hits a day, Work Group Server 80, built-in 10T,40mb RAM sys 7.6.1, OT 1.1.2, Timbuktu Pro always on, Sassafras Keyaccess. QuickDNS RAM allocation is 2048, and the only other application I run on it is QuickDNS Admin via Timbuktu. Secondary= Q840AV, built-in 10T, sys 7.6.1, OT 1.1.2, Timbuktu Pro always on, Sassafras Keyaccess, and LOTs of other user type extensions, network software, etc. QuickDNS Pro does it's job FAST and RUNS Forever! _______________________________________________________________________________ From: QuickDNS Talk on Fri, Jun 20, 1997 12:58 PM Subject: Quickdns-Talk Digest #25 - 20/06/97 To: QuickDNS Talk Quickdns-Talk Digest #25 - Föstudagur, 20. júní 1997 Re: ListServe setup by Jim Turney <Jim@Look.net> Re: ListServe setup by Richard Johnson <rjohnson@medialab.com> Re: ListServe setup by Jeff Graber <jeffg@panix.com> Mail Exchange problems by <ctlai@ix.netcom.com> Re: Mail Exchange problems by Anthony Cafiero <delta9@amug.org> QuickDNS Pro 1.1.1 -> 1.1.2 problems? by Chris Barrus <netadmin@xplain.com> Re: QuickDNS Pro 1.1.1 -> 1.1.2 problems? by Anthony Cafiero <delta9@amug.org> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: ListServe setup From: Jim Turney <Jim@Look.net> Date: Thu, 19 Jun 1997 22:55:42 -0400 If I have a PTR record for 206.55.18.12 in my 18.55.206.in-addr.arpa. file on QDNSPro, shouldn't a mailhost be able to find that it is mapped to Fast.Look.net?

Sure, if your QuickDNS Pro server is listed at the InterNIC as autoritative for the 18.55.206.in-addr.arpa domain, has that domain delegated to it by the server authoritative for the 55.206.in-addr.arpa domain, and/or provides data as a primary for a secondary server that's authoritative for the 18.55.206.in-addr.arpa domain. rogue:tmp {672} nslookup -type=NS 18.55.206.in-addr.arpa Server: rogue.river.com Address: 206.168.172.14 Non-authoritative answer: 18.55.206.in-addr.arpa nameserver = NS2.MNSINC.COM 18.55.206.in-addr.arpa nameserver = Name.Look.net 18.55.206.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns.MNSINC.COM 18.55.206.in-addr.arpa nameserver = NS1.MNSINC.COM Authoritative answers can be found from: NS2.MNSINC.COM internet address = 206.55.3.11 Name.Look.net internet address = 206.55.18.14 NS1.MNSINC.COM internet address = 199.164.210.12 Looks like you're OK there if the server running QuickDNS Pro is name.look.net, and the other servers all pull zone transfers from it. > But maybe that's not the 'problem' I have a client that says > he can't send email addressed to @206.55.18.12 (see quote below) This IP is > assigned to a ListSTAR SMTP server.

Your client doesn't say what kind of 'lookup' he did. I suspect he's confusing whois database lookups with DNS lookups, given that bit about the InterNIC. If not, his setup has a problem, as I don't have any difficulty resolving both 206.55.18.12 <-> fast.look.net using nslookup on my openbsd systems, or DNS Lookup on my Macs. And of course he can't send mail addressed to @206.55.18.12. Try looking up an A record for an IP address sometime, and you'll likely have the same problem as he is (it's nonsense, unless your lookup software flips the lookup to help you out of your mistake :-). To send mail directly to an IP address, he needs use the following instead: @[206.55.18.12].

I am able to send a message from a domain <reeftank.com>, but I am not able to send a message to the domain or access it. The return message when I try to send mail to the domain is: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <webman@reeftank.com> ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 <webman@reeftank.com>... Host unknown (Name server: reeftank.com: no data known) When I try to access mail from the domain, the message I get is: Execution of Schedule "Connect Now" at Fri, Jun 20, 1997 8:00:12 AM Connecting To Internet using Account "webman@reeftank.com" Checking for mail ** Could not resolve the domain name "reeftank.com" because this domain name does not exist. QuickDNS Pro and EIMS 1.1.2 are both on the same machine. QuickDNS Pro is the primary name server for the domain name <reeftank>. Any suggestions or examples would be much appreciated. The interesting thing is that the DNS appears to be working for the HomeDoor redirect extension so that when one types in http://www.reeftank.com, one is redirected to http//www2.reeftank.com/reeftank/.

From: Chris Barrus <netadmin@xplain.com> Date: Fri, 20 Jun 1997 11:31:35 -0700 Has anyone been experiencing problems after upgrade QuickDNS from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2? Since upgrading, we've been having problems with both of our servers freezing. No system error or dialog, just a frozen mouse. The strange thing is that we're getting similar freezes on a variety of machines. We've gotten the freeze with an SE/30 running System 7.1/MacTCP 2.0.6, a Centris 610 with 7.6.1/OT 1.1.2, and an 8500 with 7.6.1 (and 7.6) with OT 1.1.2. Our primary server is running on the 610 or 8500 and we have a backup running on the SE/30. I'd like to go back to 1.1.1, but I stupidly deleted it after installing 1.1.2. So I'd be obliged if someone can point me to a 1.1.1 archive out there somewhere.
