bind9 - forwarders are not working
- by Sarp Kaya
I am experiencing an issue with bind. If i want to resolve any domain name that is on the zone file. It works fine. However, when I try to resolve anything that does not belong to the zone file. I know that actual DNS servers that are being forwarded are working fine. But somehow bind9 fails to use them.
The content of /etc/bind/named.conf.options is:
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
forwarders {
131.181.127.32;
131.181.59.48;
};
dnssec-validation auto;
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
listen-on-v6 { any; };
};
I have also tried to use only one ip address and it still did not work. also the content of /etc/bind/named.conf is:
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";
So there is no problem with including options file.
Any recommendations for fixing this problem?
