Search Again: DNS problem From: ian Date: Wednesday, May 26, 1999 Time: 4:53:00 am We have encountered a problem that we have been unable to solve.   Our proxy sever and web server halt at intermittent times and on the event log we get the following error message.   "DNS Server encountered a packet addressed to itself -- IP address 203.58.14.7. The DNS server should never be sending a packet to itself.  This situation usually indicates a configuration error. Check the following areas for possible self-send configuration errors:      1) Forwarders list. (DNS servers should not forward to themselves).     2) Master lists of secondary zones.     3) Notify lists of primary zones.     4) Delegations of subzones.  Must not contain NS record for DNS server      Example:     -> This DNS server dns1.foo.com is the primary for the zone foo.com.     -> You have delegated the zone bar.foo.com to bardns.bar.foo.com. and         are NOT running the bar.foo.com zone on this DNS (dns1.foo.com).     -> bar.foo.com MUST NOT have an NS record that points at dns1.foo.com.      Note, you should make this check (with nslookup or DNS manager) both on     this DNS server and on the server(s) you delegated the subzone to.     It is possible that the delegation was done correctly, but that the primary     DNS for the subzone, has any incorrect NS record pointing back at this server.     If this incorrect NS record is cached at this server, then the self-send     could result.  If found, the subzone DNS server admin should remove the     offending NS record".   The servers still run however our web sites seize. Is there any particular errors that you can suggest we focus on??     Ian Degarnham                        mailto:ian@intelligent.com <mailto:ian@intelligent.com> Intelligent Technologies Pty Ltd PO Box 1169 Parramatta NSW 2124 AUSTRALIA Phone : +61 2 9891-6611    Fax: +61 2 9891-5532   "I want to do business with this company"  See us on the web  HTTP://www.intelligent.com <http://www.intelligent.com/>  If one person can get a result, so can anyone else.....
