I migrated one server to another on a local network (cpanel machine), no ips changed, heres the problems I am facing

1. some ips are binding, others are not, they all seem to start ok via ipaliases start. I can ping the ip locally on the machine, but not from the outside world, even from my switch, i cant ping (them)

from the looks of it, theres about 6 ips that belong to name servers on this server that dont want to bind, every other ip is fine

64.71.171.106 - 64.71.171.111

PS: the old server is completely offline, disconnected from switch and all

Can you post the output of

sockstat |grep 53

and the IP's in your resolv.conf ?

By default BIND listens to all the IP's on a machine. You can also use the listen-on in the options{} statement

Hope it helps

i get command not found when i do that

as for the resolv.conf, that seems ok, and the machine is able to talk to the outside world


domain darkorb.net
search darkorb.net
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 205.162.50.248
nameserver 66.96.193.2
nameserver 66.96.194.2

I'd say get rid of this nameserver in resolv.conf -> nameserver 205.162.50.248 - it only delays the dns resolution.

I bet it's an ARP cache issue with your router.

Your router has the MAC addresses cached for those IP addresses going to the old machine. You may have to wait until the cache clears, unless you can clear it.

Of course you didn't say how you knew that those IP addresses weren't "being bound" except for your ping.
