Corrupt zone transfer

[Danny Horne]

Hi all,

I currently run two Bind 9.9.* nameservers (details below), I've just added a slave zone to the Windows one, the Linux one being the master.  The zone transferred, however, seems to be corrupt in that when opened in Notepad it contains what I can only describe as gobbledegook.  The master zone file was created with Vim if that's any help.

Master server
Linux (CentOS)
Bind 9.9.0

Slave server
Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
Bind 9.9.1-P1

Thanks for looking

Try
dig @slave axfr example.com

I bet this will look right.  The slave zone is probably in raw format.

Thanks Todd,

Seeing it cleanly when doing that so I guess the zone file itself is ok

From your slave, if you do

 

dig @[master server] zonename AXFR

 

Do you get nice text, or garbage?

BIND 9.9 stores slave zones in raw format by default. You can get a
standard textual version using
named-compilezone -j -f raw -o outfile zonename infile
