Bind 9 Slave zone records not being transferred

[modsbyus]

I have a Master Bind 9 server setup and am trying to get it to transfer its records to the slave. The zones are transferred but not the records. I get notify messages but the slave says no serial. When the master is sending the notifies it shows a serial. The serials are being incremented on the master when changes are made. Both master and slave are on public IPs and I am using the UFW, allowing port 53 in and out and have allowed all to and from master and slave on both master and slave. I am and have to use webmin for management. If I have missed giving any information please just ask.

I couldn't read the whole setup because there is much text, but I think your setup on the slave is incorrect. The allow-transfer and allow-notify options go on the master, not the slave.

I haven't done much DNS servers but the basic instructions from ubuntu always worked for me. Read carefully here:
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/servi...me-service-dns

And also, I don't have much faith in webmin but if you say you have to use it...

[modsbyus]

Okay, So following the guide at https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/servi...me-service-dns I still have the same problem. No transfer ever even shows up in the logs and each notify message in the master logs shows a serial number but on the slave the notify messages all end with no serial. Im pretty sure that the slave not getting the serial is the issue but I don't know where else to look for the culprit.

[darkod]

Please post your current named.conf.local from master and slave, but select only one zone and post only its setup. That way it will be easier to follow.

If you get it working for one zone your can replicate the setup to the rest.

[modsbyus]

Master:

zone "telpage.net" {
	type master;
	file "/var/lib/bind/telpage.net.hosts";
	also-notify {
		192.40.120.10;
		};
    allow-transfer {
		192.40.120.10;
		};
	notify yes;
	};

Slave:

zone "telpage.net" {
	type slave;
	masters {
		192.40.120.9;
		};
	file "/var/lib/bind/telpage.net.hosts";
	};

[darkod]

It looks OK, but for easier reading I would do it like this (it is allowed):

zone "telpage.net" {
    type master;
    file "/var/lib/bind/telpage.net.hosts";
    also-notify { 192.40.120.10; };
    allow-transfer { 192.40.120.10; };
    notify yes;
};

Also, check named.conf.options on the slave and remove the allow-transfer and allow-notify lines there. According to your post #1 you have those lines in the general options but they shouldn't be on the slave.

Don't forget to restart the bind9 service each time you do changes.

If it still doesn't work post the current /var/lib/bind/telpage.net.hosts file from both master and slave for comparison.

If after evrything it still doesn't work, I would suggest to purge bind and start from zero. First set up the basics and make sure they work, and after you can tune more specific settings according to your needs. And that way you can also know which setting "broke" it and look for solution. Right now you are unsure why it doesn't work.

[modsbyus]

I removed those statements from named.conf.options when you suggested removing from named.conf.local.
The hosts record for the telpage zone is large. I'm presenting a different zone for that reason. The hosts files have not been created on the slave. I tried manually creating them one time and after restarting bind I ended up with this in /var/lib/bind

I tried removing all zones and restarted bind on the slave. Now when I restart bind on the master, the logs on the slave say

notify: notice: client @0x7f6cb0028950 192.40.120.9#57026/key 1: received notify for zone 'goodearthpeanuts.com': TSIG '1': not authoritative

[modsbyus]

I realized the reason I got the : not authoritative message was because the slave zones were not created on the slave. after adding the slave zone I am back to the no serial error.
I also went ahead and started over with the slave. I purged the bind install and made sure no directories or files were left over from previous install and then reinstalled and reconfigured.
Still same issue. I just don't get why the master would send the serial and the slave would say that on the notify message that there isn't one. I am going to try to reboot the master server tonight.

[darkod]

I have no ideas at this point. I hate to simply blame webmin but the fact remains that it is not recommended to use it and one can never be sure what it does in the background.

If you want to be sure you are doing everything right you can do quick test in VirtualBox or similar. Create two VMs and install basic ubuntu + bind. Setup one zone as per the Ubuntu Help docs and see if it syncs correctly between the master and the slave.

If that works I think it is safe to assume webmin is making some issues for you.

I don't lke the format of the serial either. But that shouldn't be a problem as long as it is incremented correctly. I prefer the format YYYYMMDDXX which is much easier to read. But again, it depends if you control the format of the serial at all and whether you edit the config files manually in the CLI or not.

Ubuntu server is what it is, linux server with CLI. I would dump webmin the first chance I have...
