Caching issue with Centos forwarding DNS server
- by Paddington
I installed a Forwarding DNS server on Centos 5.10 and it is resolving addresses e.g google.com. When I stopped named (service named stop) and tried to dig (dig @localhost A google.com) there was a failure to resolve the address. I checked and see the caching daemon nscd is running.
Does this mean the server is not caching at all? How can I get it to cache?
named.conf
options
{
// Those options should be used carefully because they disable port
// randomization
// query-source port 53;
// query-source-v6 port 53;
// Put files that named is allowed to write in the data/ directory:
listen-on port 53 {127.0.0.1; 10.0.0.4;};
directory "/var/named"; // the default
dump-file "/var/named/chroot/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/chroot/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "/var/named/chroot/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
// allow-query {localhost; 192.168.0.0/24; 10.0.0.0/8;};
recursion yes;
//allow-query { localhost; 10.0.0.0/8;};
allow-query { localhost; any; };
allow-query-cache { localhost; any; };
forward only;
forwarders {8.8.8.8; 8.8.4.4;};
dnssec-enable yes;
// dnssec-lookaside auto;
/* Path to ISC DLV key */
// bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";
// managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic";
};
logging
{
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};
