Hi folks,

I've some problem with query serveral site, I use BIND 9.6.-ESV-R7-P2

$ host dns1.pointhq.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

$ tail /var/log/named.log
18-May-2013 05:58:09.490 client 127.0.0.1#55351: view internal: query failed (SERVFAIL) for dns1.pointhq.com/IN/A at /usr/src/usr.sbin/named/../../contrib/bind9/bin/named/query.c:4655

But if i use Google DNS:

$ host dns1.pointhq.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
budsz:~$ host dns1.pointhq.com 8.8.8.8
Using domain server:
Name: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
Aliases:

dns1.pointhq.com has address 109.233.112.63

Can you give me some clue to fix this problem - Thank you.

No problem here from 2 different sites. Seems to be a problem between
your resolving name server and their authorities:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
pointhq.com. 3190 IN NS dns6.pointhq.com.
pointhq.com. 3190 IN NS dns7.pointhq.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
dns6.pointhq.com. 235 IN A 91.109.245.139
dns7.pointhq.com. 235 IN A 37.123.115.172

hope this helps,

Doug

Given he error message I would look at the you internal view configuration.
 
But if i use Google DNS:

$ host dns1.pointhq.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
budsz:~$ host dns1.pointhq.com 8.8.8.8

Using domain server:
Name: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
Aliases:

dns1.pointhq.com has address 109.233.112.63

The external view appears to be working fine.

cp@r64:~$ host -t ns pointhq.com
Using domain server:
Address: 91.109.245.139#53
Aliases: 

dns1.pointhq.com has address 109.233.112.63
Using domain server:
Address: 37.123.115.172#53
Aliases: 

dns1.pointhq.com has address 109.233.112.63

With this command:

$ host -t ns pointhq.com

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

I don't know why... at the moment I use static mapping in bind. The first problem appeared for senangpoker.com and www.senangpoker.com, and has NS record dns*.pointhq.com.
