Search Again: Re: Odd behaviour when migrating a domain From: Men & Mice Support Date: Thursday, November 7, 2002 Time: 9:45:12 am Actually, there is some disagreement on this issue between ISC and the RFC's. The current definition of the SRV record adds the underscore to the list of allowed characters, at least in SRV records. (I haven't read it that carefully.) Anyway, because of this, we decided that QuickDNS shouldn't disallow underscore characters, even though named chokes on them (normally). You can fix this by manually editing /var/named/conf/options and adding this substatement inside the options statement block: check-names master warn; Note that this is present by default in QuickDNS 4. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 1:48 PM +0000 11/7/02, David Reddy wrote: >FYI: > >Found the problem here, had a host in the zone with a '_' in the >name which choked named. > >Silly but there you go. > >Should this not have been validated by QDNS manager? > >thanks, > >Dave. > > >The response from auth01.weblink.ie is non-authoritative, meaning >it's cached from the current servers.
