PPP-assigned DNS Configuration

I am using wvdial and it successfully connects to the Internet but then it gives this error: "Timeout waiting for the PPP-assigned DNS configuration." I searched the web for this and found a Russian website and a Spanish website. I can read neither.
How do I set up PPP to give the DNS configuration to wvdial? I know what DNS addresses I want to use, but not how to implement them. I put them in /etc/resolv.conf as "nameserver IP". What do I put in for the "search <domainname>" line?

But it does not work! I have resolv.conf set up like I said, with no search line, but I get that "Timeout..." error. wvdial does successfully connect to the Internet, but none of my programs realize this. I can not ping anything. I know I am connected to the Internet because the modem makes its usual sounds as it connects and when I pick up a telephone I get the usual screeching noise, but nothing responds to the connection! I simply assume that this timeout error is the cause because I see no other errors.

Assigning DNS addresses from Radius on LNS

Hi we have a router which acts as an LNS and authenticates LT2P sessions via radius assigning each to a tunnel interface and giving it an IP address, we would also like to assign DNS settings via radius, we are using steel belted radius which is capable of doing this but we can't seem to get it to work.
What I believe are relevant sections of the config are below;
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

DNS configuration

Hi All
This may be a silly question so please forgive me, I haven't set-up a DNS in a while and I know I have forgotten something simple in my configuration.
I have set up an Xserver 10.5.6 with a fully qualified domain name for example:
mydomain.com
machine name: ho.mydomain.com
For some reason I am unable to access the external hosted web site without www (https://mydomain.com) on the internal network.
From out side I can access the external hosted site with or without www, so my external hosting configuration is correct.
What simple thing have i missed in DNS configuration my configuration?
Primary Domain:
mydomain.com
www. machine (external ip address of web host)
ho machine (server ip address)
Please help, what have I forgotten to do?

Hi,
I think you want to replace
www. machine (external ip address of web host)
with
A record mydomain.com -> external IP
This sends an external request outside and comes back in;
that way you can reach either www.mydomain.com or mydomain.com
Ensure you have an alias record in the website setup for the www.
HTH,
Harry

DNS configuration in two-domain forests

hi all,
We have a forest with two separate domains.First of all we had domain A. When we added the first domain controller for the second domain (B), a trust relationship was established and look fine. but then we realised DNS configuration was not nice and
some replication issues came out.
What we have done is setting up domain B zone as a secondary Zone in domain A, and viceversa.
We configured primary zones to be able to be transferred to the Domain controllers in the other domain and also configured notifications.
Even with this configuration, some times we check zones and find it empty but a single.
Does anyone one if our configuration is the right one for our infrastructure? I have been loking in the internet for a manual or a document regarding DNS configuration for this infrastructure, but I could not find it, Do you know of any manual or document?
Thank you very much
kind regards.
David.

Hi David,
First, make sure that the TCP and UDP port 53 is not blocked. To verify it a port is blocked, please use the portqry.
To download portqry, please click the link below,
PortQryUI - User Interface for the PortQry Command Line Port Scanner
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=24009
If the port is not blocked, please check the serial number of the zone in both of the primary and secondary server.
If serial number is the same at both the source and destination servers, no zone transfer occurs between the servers.
To resolve this issue, please follow the steps blow,
After you increase the serial number at the master server to a higher value than is used currently at the secondary server, initiate zone transfer at the secondary server.
Increase the value of the serial number for the zone at the master server (source) to a number greater than the value at the applicable secondary server (destination).
Here is an article about how to troubleshoot zone issues, it may be helpful.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731210.aspx
Besides, instead of creating scondary zone, we can add conditional forwarder on the DNS server.
To add conditional forwarder, please refer to the link below,

DNS configuration for web access

Hi All,
I'm setting up a SL server for the first time and it's working great for users inside our building and on our network, but we're unable to access anything on it through the web (including a basic homepage) and I think it has to do with our DNS setup. We've got the domain tgroupproductions.com through goDaddy and I've set up the ns1 and ns2 info in the host summary pointing to my public ip 216.3.118.152 and added both ns1.tgroupproductions.com and ns2.tgroupproductions.com to the goDaddy nameserv list.
I've attached images of my dns configuration and of the intodns.com scan results. I just want to double check to make sure I'm setup correctly. It's possible I just haven't waited long enough for the changes to take effect
DNS Setting: https://files.me.com...ek.klein/mp3enf
Intodns.com: https://files.me.com...ek.klein/d33nlt

Sorry about the images...don't know why they are working. I'll embed them at the bottom of this post.
As for why I'm not using GoDaddy...I have no problem using them as a public dns (meaning I'd have to change the nameservs back to the ns17.domaincontrol.com and ns18 nameservs?) but the site wasn't functioning with those in place so we tried to set up our own internal dns. I had followed a tutorial at http://osx411.com/index.php?/topic/19-using-mac-os-x-server-to-host-websites-fro m-home/ but either I'm misunderstanding or I missed something.
Here are the images:

Mail server and DNS configuration

I have an XServe G4 running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Server, and I have successfully configured two domains that I purchased from GoDaddy as websites on this XServe. It's behind an Airport Extreme, and I have forwarded a bunch of ports in order to enable FTP, SSH, Web, remote Server Administration, webmail, and I have also forwarded the IMAP and SMTP ports. All of these services work except for email, so I am wondering if there is any special DNS settings that I need to configure in the GoDaddy total dns configuration page. I have the MX record pointed directly to my IP, just like the A record. I also have mail.mydomain.com pointed to the A record's IP (maybe I described that poorly, but I hope it gets the point across). I am able to log into webmail and send email out to other people, but when I try replying back to the email which I sent from webmail, I get a bounced message. I also cannot configure a Mail client, but I think I need to get the accounts at least working first. Can someone provide a list of DNS requirements or server configuration requirements for me to check off in order to make this happen? Does anyone know of any great resources to learn this kind of stuff? I'm kinda new to the server thing.
Thanks!
Paul

How does that map to an DSN entry? Is that the Name of the entry? Because I dont have an entry with that name. And yes, the OBI enrties I have work.
I've looked at my other working enviornments trying to figure out what this entry should be and the DSN entry is not in the System DSN list there either.

What is it looking for? The OBIEE metadata repository?
Can someone explain how obiee validates the user and credentials?

Where is old DNS configuration stashed?

I upgraded my Mac Mini Server to OS X Mavericks and then downloaded to OS X Server application. All the DNS configuration data has gone missing. Does anyone know where the old data has been stashed?
My home network is relatively small but it is still a pain to need to manually regenerate my local zone files.

DNS configuration for GSS

Hi,
I am newbee to GSS. I would like to deploy the GSS in my datacenter.
I would like to know the DNS configuration example for domain.
ex:
www.abc.com
What records need to configured with detail script. beacause i dont have experience in DNS server configuration.
I am looking for positive update.
Regards
sateesh kumar.k

Typical flow is as follows
1. Client will hit their DNS servers (configured on their machines as primary/backup dns server).
2. "Client's DNS server" will query "DNS server authoritative for abc.com" for www.abc.com.
3. "DNS server authoritative for abc.com" will ask "client's DNS server" to query "GSS - Authoritative for www.abc.com"
4. "Client's DNS server" will query GSS for www.abc.com.
5. GSS will send the ip add of www.abc.com (which should be configured on ACE as VIP).
6. "Client's DNS server" will handover this VIP to client
7. Client will hit the VIP configured on ACE (for application www.abc.com).

How to assign DNS Records to Traffic Manager

I want to know how to assign dns records point to traffic manager.(Non www version)

Greetings, Naveen!
When you create a Traffic Manager, you receive a DNS name like fabrikam.trafficmanager.net
Also, you might be having your own domain name like fabrikam.com
In your domain provider, register a CName, mapping your sub-domain
www.fabrikam.com to fabrikam.trafficmanager.net.
Use domain forwarding to map the root domain (fabrikam.com) to the sub-domain.

Support for IPv6 Router Advertisement Option for DNS Configuration RFC 5006

Hi everyone, do you know that whether Cisco routers support “IPv6 Router Advertisement Option for DNS Configuration RFC 5006” currently, is there any roadmap for this support? Thanks for your help!

No, this is not currently supported, and the last I heard, there is no roadmap for this until it becomes a standard (as opposed to being experimental).

Get DNS configuration using CLI

To get DNS configuration on CNR using CLI as the following:
-List of Domains
-Name Servers
-Hosts
-ZoneTransfer
-DHCP
-SubZone
-Resources Record
Many thanks

Yes, there are some API calls available - it depends on what info you want to acquire. For example, you can call "DAQmxGetSysDevNames()" to get a list of the devices in your system. then you could walk the list and call "DAQmxGetDevProductType()" for additional info.

DNS configuration and JNDI performance

Could DNS configuration affect JNDI lookup performance (I guess it
could)? Are there any tips & tricks on how to configure DNS properly
for the JNDI lookup usage?
Thanx for any answer
Wojtek

Since most naming services cache lookups on the client side, this should only
affect the first lookup. Using an IP address would eliminate the need for a DNS
lookup.
