I am setting up a private DNS server that will only be accessible by my OpenVPN users. OpenVPN is setup on the tun0 interface of my Ubuntu 14 server.

The issue is that I am getting some errors. I am unsure how to resolve them. Also I am unsure if if configured my BIND9 server correctly.

Here is what I get when I test my configs:

named-checkconf:

Nothing...

named-checkzone one.example.com db.one.example.com:

db.one.example.com:17: ignoring out-of-zone data (jeannicolas.com.air.jn) zone one.example.com/IN: loaded serial 3 OK

named-checkzone 8.10.in-addr.arpa /etc/bind/zones/db.10.8:

dns_rdata_fromtext: /etc/bind/zones/db.10.8:6: near eol: unexpected end of input zone 8.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file /etc/bind/zones/db.10.8 failed: unexpected end of input zone 8.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: not loaded due to errors.

  • Whats the question? The error you've provided is quite clear: The mentioned zone file isn't valid. Either correct it or remove it, if you don't need it.

The problem was simple. I did not add a Expire number db.10.8 zone file.

  • do you always need the reverse zone?
