win 2003 dns to bind zone transfer

[msteder]

I am having problems transfering zones from a Windows 2003 Primary DNS Server to a Solaris 9.0 BIND 9.2.4. I get the following error from named on the Solaris box. You can see the notifies passing back and forth.


Nov 19 15:17:48.991 transfer of 'xyz.info/IN' from 69.211.182.2#53: failed while receiving responses: end of file
Nov 19 15:17:48.991 transfer of 'xyz.info/IN' from 69.211.182.2#53: end of transfer

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

msteder,

Is the Solaris box set up as a primary or secondary DNS server? Did you specify the Solaris server's IP address in your Windows DNS settings?

The Solaris machine is the Secondary DNS Server and I have setup the Solaris ip for zone transfer on the Windows 2003 Primary DNS Server. The Win2003 is actually sending notifies to the Solaris when I update the zone files.

msteder,

That sounds right so far. What kind of DNS zone did you set up in Bind9 on the Solaris box?

Here is my entry in named.conf

zone "joedata.info" {
type slave;
file "/usr/local/named/joedata.info.dns";
masters { 1.2.3.4; };
};

msteder,

I don't see anything wrong with your named.conf, but I'm not familiar with the exact error message you received. I did find some possibly useful discussion at

In the end, I had to ensure my firewall was NATing the correct ips out of both sites.
