  • RHEL 6 BIND 9.8.2 SRV Record CNAME Problem

    Posted on

    My RHEL 6 BIND 9.8.2 is already updated to its latest 9.8.2-47-8.3 version.

    The BIND is a recursion server that serve client requests.

    I facing the problem that when I do a query for a SRV record that points to a CNAME, it fail with lameserver FORMERR error.

    It seems whenever the SRV record is pointing to a CNAME, it returns SERVFAIL, however, if the SRV points to a A record, it's successful.

    I tried to set the check-integrity no but seems no effect.

    Is there any patch/update available to have the BIND not failing for SRV record point to CNAME???

    It seems BIND 9.9.7 does the job, but RHEL 6 most updated BIND is 9.8.2.

    Thanks for any advise.
