Salam,<br><br>Tell me one thing, you killed the service, means service not running..... when u start the<br>service then why are u using this command!!!<br><br>service named restart????????<br><br>should be &quot;service named start&quot; or /etc/init.d/named start
<br><br>if you are running&nbsp; secondary DNS, then your rndc key should be copied to the other<br>server as well, actually your rndc key not matching, i worked on DNS more than year back, faced the&nbsp; same issue, donot know exactly the files to be remember.... please search

<br><br>My problem...<br># service named restart<br>Stopping named:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[FAILED]<br>Starting named: named: already running&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [FAILED]<br><br>nothing gets logged in /var/log/messages
<br><br>obviously, I can do this to restart it...<br><br>[root@srv1 etc]# ps aux|grep named<br>named&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26598&nbsp;&nbsp;0.1&nbsp;&nbsp;0.3&nbsp;&nbsp;72168&nbsp;&nbsp;3732 ?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ssl&nbsp;&nbsp;15:41<br>0:00 /usr/sbin/named -u named -4 -t /var/named/chroot<br>root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 26687&nbsp;&nbsp;

<br><br>and the pid of named seems to be where it belongs...<br># ls -l /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid<br>-rw-r--r-- 1 named named 6 Sep 21<br>15:43 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid<br><br>if I try...<br>
# service named status<br>rndc: connection to remote host closed<br>This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of<br>the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect,<br>or the key is invalid.
<br><br>but looking at my named.conf, I&#39;m directly including rndc.key<br># grep rndc named.conf<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;inet <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> allow { localhost; } keys { DYNAMIC_DNS_KEY;<br>rndc.key; };<br>
include &quot;/etc/rndc.key&quot;;<br><br>and obviously, I am running named-chroot...<br># tail -n 3 /etc/sysconfig/named<br>ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot<br>OPTIONS=-4<br>ENABLE_ZONE_WRITE=yes<br><br># rpm -qa|grep bind<br>bind-chroot-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5
