#119 Serving reverse zones for private ranges requires manual change in named.conf
Closed: Fixed Opened by pspacek.

From BIND version 9.9, the "automatic empty zones" defined in RFC 6303 are automatically enabled.

This prevents bind-dyndb-ldap from loading reverse zones listed in RFC 6303 section 4.

Workaround

Add line like

disable-empty-zone "8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.";

to /etc/named.conf for each 'local' reverse zone in LDAP.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Add e.g. reverse zone 8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. to IPA DNS
  • Add arbitrary record to the reverse zone
  • Try to dig the record or read logs from named: Zone is not loaded and records are not available to clients, because default empty zones are loaded before zones from IPA DNS
