Search Again: ISP refuses classless delegation From: Mauro Ferrari Date: Thursday, April 25, 2002 Time: 1:43:15 am Thanks to your posts I know now how to delegate a classless subzone, but My ISP refuses to delegate the 5 IP's I own, saying that it would generate unneccessary DNS traffic, and that all their client have their DNS without delegation. For them, the lame delegation (non authoritve data from my DNS when checking with DNSExpert) is due to a bad configuration of my DNS. I'm kind of lost since I don't find any error in my DNS config (ns1.espaceweb.ch). I'm wondering if it's not hardware or compatibility problem with QDNS 3.5.3. I'm running a BeigeG3, MacOS 9.2, along with EIMS 3.1. Every time I try to restart the server, he crashes and leaves port 53 open - i mean, it is still possible to ping the server. I've been running QDNS and EIMS over years without problems with 604's, till I moved to G3 computers. The first, a G3 upgraded 604 crashed pretty often. Since G3 upgraded Mac's are not compatible with QDNS (according to menandmice), I replaced it with a BeigeG3. The fact of crashing on reboot does not influence the server activity, since the server runs over month without need of restart, and in the worst case Powerkey Rebound restarts the server without problems. Is it possible that "frequent"crashes corrupt datafiles of the DNS? Should I export all virtual domaines and reinstall QDNS? Another thing: When I check the log is some strange lame delegation for domaines I'm not responsible for: Lame delegation for "229.255.218.216.in-addr.arpa." from "192.112.36.4:53 (sqlfusion.sqlfusion.com) Lame delegation for "www.bcge.ch." from "130.59.211.10:53" (swiss bank, not related to me...) Lame delegation for "dns2.vtx.ch." from "198.41.0.10:53 (vtx is the company of my ADSL line, not related to my server's ISP) What does this mean? Why do I have delegaion logs for domains I'm not related to at all? Any help would be appreciated! Mauro
