Hi,

I haven't touched my server configuration for quite some time now, but after I brought a new domain, I've noticed that I have some weird DNS issue. My domain is idmedia.no and I'm using NSD for ns1.idmedia.no and Linode slave DNS for ns2 and 3.

However, when I run dig I get the following. Querying ns1.idmedia.no works as it should...

dig @ns2.idmedia.no idmedia.no

; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.3-Ubuntu <<>> @ns2.idmedia.no idmedia.no

Does anyone of you have any idea on how I can debug this?
I will gladly provide other info if needed.

If you have bought a new domain, you have to setup Linode to act as slaves for it.

I've added it as a slave in the DNS Manager yesterday without any luck. It's still not replicating to ns2 or ns3

Have you seen any usefull info in the nsd log?

The only thing I can see is "error: can't bind udp socket: Address already in use", but I've checked the firewall config and nothing else is using :53 as far as I can tell...
