Re: Looking for help: Setting up a Bonjour DNS Server



Hi Alex,

Everything appears to be configured correctly. Your dig command is looking up the address record for "bonjour.vonbelow.com", but you don't really need to have an address record for your Bonjour domain. As long as you have an NS record for the domain, mDNSResponder will know where to send the updates. In your case, it will send the updates to the server running on "cvs.netdock.de.".

It even looks like dnsextd is running correctly. You can tell by looking up the following SRV record, which dnsextd automatically adds to your zone.

Hello,

after talking to some Apple engineers at WWDC I got very interested about Bonjour DNS, and tried to set up a server as described here:
http://www.dns-sd.org/ServerSetup.html


However, it seems that something is not working. When I dig my bonjour domain - bonjour.vonbelow.com - I get no answer (full reply below). The authoritative server seems to be found, but that does not seem to be sufficient
named and dnsextd seem to be running on the machine (Tiger Server), and the request seems to be handled correctly by the main name server for the domain (running on debian Linux).


Any pointers how I can find out what I am missing?

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks

Alex
