I'm running my own nameservers, ns1 and ns2 on the same raq4.

I keep getting a very large daily log from logsentry with these errors:

Mar 3 03:46:08 mydomain named[422]: sysquery: findns error
(NXDOMAIN) on NS1.mydomain.com? Mar 3 03:46:08 mydomain named[422]: sysquery:
findns error (NXDOMAIN) on NS2.mydomain.com?

Does anyone knows what causes this ?

Thanks !

well, in my experience, NXDOMAIN means non existant domain. So it appears that someone is trying to resolve a domain that points to your dns servers, but isnt listed in your servers, so it searches first NS1, comes up with nothing, then tries NS2 and also comes up with nothing. I would check for a broken link on one of your high-traffic sites which points to a non existant subdomain as the cause of this log.

I just saw something i did'nt realize before.

I hope i can explain this in english...

I had "mydomain.com" hosted on one of my servers at Tera-byte, and i used their nameservers under the "ns.mydomain.com" label.
So people that hosts their .com domains at my servers pointed their domains at ns1.mydomain.com, wich was actually ns.tera-byte.com etc.

Now i moved mydomain.com to my new server witch runs it own ns under the name ns.mydomain.NET, so i moved the site and changed the nameservers in mydomain.com records.

Now what i didn't noticed before that the error was talking about ns.mydomain.COM instead of ns.mydomain.net wich is the actual nameserver i'm running.
(i hope there's someone out there still reading cause i'm lost myself :) ).

I guess all the domains pointed to ns.mydomain.com are looking at my new server for the records ?? :(

ok ... you just confused the hell out of me

.net was hosted at the .com server, the .com domain was also used to make a nameserver at Tera-byte, but i moved the .com to a different server so its no longer connected to the TB nameservers.
So if you would type ns.com you look at my new server instead of the TB nameservers (i guess :confused: ).

Sorry its to complicated to explain with just a english vocabulary of 100 words :D

Thanks anyway
