I have a BIND9 (9.9.10-P2) server running on Windows Server 2012 R2. I have 2 views - an internal and external - serving up two zones for domains I own.
For some reason, one of these zones it refuses to serve up answers for despite the server starting without complaints. When creating Zone 2 (the problem zone), since it is set up exactly like Zone 1, I simply copied the file from Zone 1 and replaced the relevant bits with the new name. Checkzone says it's ok and shows no errors. Running checkconf -z throws errors for Zone 2 but not Zone 1:
C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\bin>named-checkconf.exe -z ..\etc\named.conf

Here is my named.conf:
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "nah";
};
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};
acl internals {
127.0.0.0/8;
10.16.0.0/22;
};
view "internal" {
match-clients { internals; };
recursion yes;
zone "domain2.net" {
type master;
file "C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\etc\zones\domain2.net.int";
};
zone "domain1.net" {
type master;
file "C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\etc\zones\domain1.net.int";
};
};
view "external" {
match-clients { any; };
recursion no;
zone "domain2.net" {
type master;
file "C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\etc\zones\domain2.net.ext";
};
zone "domain1.net" {
type master;
file "C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\etc\zones\domain1.net.ext";
};
};
Here is Zone 1/Domain 1, the working one:
; domain1.net
$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN domain1.net.
domain1.net. IN SOA dns.domain1.net. hostmaster (
2 ; Serial number
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400) ; Minimum TTL
; Nameservers
IN NS dns.domain1.net.
IN NS dns.domain2.net.
; Records
dns.domain1.net. IN A 127.0.0.2
Here is Zone 2/Domain 2, the broken one:
; domain2.net
$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN domain2.net.
domain2.net. IN SOA dns.domain2.net. hostmaster (
2 ; Serial number
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400) ; Minimum TTL
; Nameservers
IN NS dns.domain2.net.
IN NS dns.domain1.net.
; Records
dns.domain2.net. IN A 127.0.0.6
As far as I can tell Zone 1/Domain 1 works perfectly fine. I have deleted and recreated and copied these files numerous times with no success.
