    DNS Lookup failed

    http://www.intodns.com/site.com

    Mismatched NS records WARNING: One or more of your nameservers did not return any of your NS records.

    DNS servers responded ERROR: One or more of your nameservers did not respond:
    The ones that did not respond are:
    ip.address

    You should already know that your NS records at your nameservers are missing, so here it is again:

    I have configured the BIND using webmin.
    How do i fix this?

    Thanks

    Domain of website is site.com?

    The error you mentioned does not cause a domain to do not resolve.

    If you have only one dns server, then this can cause your domain to do not resolve.

    I fixed that problem. I was having problem with chroot. I uninstalled that. Now configured with Bind.

    However,
    Service named status
    gives named dead but pid file exists

    cd /var/run/

    Under this folder, there is symlink for named.pid
    it is linked with /var/run/named/named.pid

    How do i fix this problem?

    I tried to unlink named.pid and restarted the named. Again it got linked with /var/run/named/named.pid

    The standard init.d/ script should handle named.pid on stop/start/restart, so if you get problem every time with restart of named, your init script does not work. (or something like permission/chroot problem can cause this)

    That is right.
    How to fix this?

    I tried to change the permission to named. But the linked .pid is always root. Why when i remove the link, i again create symlink with /var/run/named/named.pid ?

    Thanks.
    The word init.d is the hint.

    I fixed it.

    init.d is using /named/named.pid whereas my named.conf is using /var/run/named.pid

    I changed the path in named.conf and now it is working good.

    Thanks again

    One more question.
    ns1.site.com
    ns2.site.com
    (nameserver)

    Can they both have same ip address?
