Bind Config issue or Help me from going crazy over here

jrc

Hi everyone,

I am trying to add a new zone to my DNS server (Debian 6 running Bind). But it's just not working.

Basically in order for me to force safe search on my network I need to create a zone for www.google.com, then create a cname for www.google.com and point it to forcesafesearch.google.com. Simple enough, except it's not working and I have no idea why.

Here are my config files:

named.conf:

=================================================

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

=================================================

named.conf.local

=================================================

zone "www.google.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/www.google.com.hosts";
};

=================================================

www.google.com.hosts

=================================================

$ttl 12h

www.google.com. IN SOA ns.www.google.com. ns.www.google.com. (
2016052601
1d
15m
2w
1h )

www.google.com. IN NS ns.www.google.com

ns.www.google.com. IN A 10.1.1.2

@ IN CNAME forcesafesearch.google.com.

=================================================

Yet here are the results of an NSLookup

BASH
Picard:~ <user>$ nslookup www.google.com 10.1.1.2

Server: 10.1.1.2
Address: 10.1.1.2#53

** server can't find www.google.com: NXDOMAIN

=================================================

Tearing my hair out over this. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

So it sounds like the domain is getting included in the list, but the entry is not getting picked up.

The line:

ns.www.google.com.	IN	A	10.1.1.2

should that be ns.www.google.com or just www.google.com?
