servfail

Latest response

Hello Gurus,

I am practicing for RHCE. I have configured unbound caching server, but getting a servfail .
Here is the output of my test. I practiced using the labs provided in ROL. I got the same error. Then I did the same thing in my environment.

dig @desktop1.ashu.com A ashu.com

; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-29.el7 <<>> @desktop1.ashu.com A ashu.com
; (1 server found)

Thank for you help

I have a similar problem

I am practicing for RHCE too.. Some suggestions.. 1). Check the access-control setting. 2). Check for forward host setting. 3). Run the "unbound-checkconf" command and provide the output thanks

Also noticed that there is "QUESTION SECTION" in the dig command but no "ANSWER SECTION". you might need to check you network setting.
