I incorrectly ran a script to add spf records to all DNS host files in /var/named/chroor/var/named/. The script basically obliterated all of our .host files. I had some backups I restored - only two seem to work.
I used the mass update tool (List Virtualmin Servers->Select all->Disable DNS option..) to remove DNS from all the virtual hosts and then re-add it, in hopes that virtualmin would auto create the DNS files correctly. This is what "apparently" happened.
Primary name server ns1.lightonthenet.org and secondary ns2.lightonthenet.org do not respond to ping from my local machine, but lightonthenet.org does. Both of these ns records have "A" records on the server in the lightonthenet.org DNS service.
http://pingability.com/zoneinfo.jsp?domain=ns1.lightonthenet.org
Shows that there is an IP associated but no "A" records are present. This makes no sense to me as I have them on the system...
When I use http://www.infoblox.com/services/dns_advisor_tool.cfm on one of the broken domains - I get errors like this:
"ns1.lightonthenet.org. returned: no name servers"
Weirdness, and I can't put my finger on it just yet...
Please advise...
