Re: Dumping OSXS for OSX - Clean Install?

Syd,

I have not used DNSAgent in OS X Server, but I definitely would try
Alain's suggestion.

iTools' BIND uses /etc/named/named.conf for its primary configuration
file.  It leaves alone /etc/named.conf (Apple's default).  Tenon's named
binary looks by default in /etc/named/named.conf.  Apple's GUI tools
should not affect Tenon's DNS configuration.

I'm assuming that the server that is having the problems is
austasiagroup.com at 203.59.134.107.  It is clear that this server isn't
functioning as an active DNS server.  Try restarting the DNS server and
looking at the logs for error messages.

In one terminal window, execute the following command:

tail -f /var/log/system.log

Then, in another terminal window execute:

sudo ndc restart

Look at any messages in system.log.  This should give you an idea of why
the DNS Server is not running.

Hope this helps,

Erik.
