bind9: unknown RR type, unknown class/type errors

[Frank Moeller]

Hello All,

I have a little problem while setting up my DNS.

In my LAN I want to use the local domain go.wiki. So I make the following
settings to the bind9 on my ubuntu server (hardy):

named.conf:
=======
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";

zone "." {
type hint;
file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};

zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.local";
};

zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.127";
};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.0";
};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.255";
};

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";

named.conf.options:
============
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";

auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
listen-on-v6 { any; };
};

named.conf.local:
==========
zone "go.wiki" IN {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.go.wiki";
};

/etc/bind/db.go.wiki:
============
$ORIGIN go.wiki.
$TTL 1D
@ IN SOA localhost. hostmaster. (
200405191 ; serial
8H ; refresh
4H ; retry
4W ; expire
1D ) ; minimum
IN NS localhost.
IN A 10.3.64.39

After restarting bind9 I receive the following message in the daemon.log:

Apr 14 15:51:34 ingobert named[14090]: /etc/bind/db.go.wiki:1: unknown RR
type 'go.wiki.'
Apr 14 15:51:34 ingobert named[14090]: zone go.wiki/IN: loading from master
file /etc/bind/db.go.wiki failed: unknown class/type

Any idea what's going wrong? Are there any limitations to zone or domain
names?
Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Frank

The message says you have an error on line 1, and that go.wiki. is
being parsed as a record type. Check the file again and make sure you
have a $ before "ORIGIN". Or better yet, take out the $ORIGIN
statement, as it's completely unnecessary.
