[ #15115 ]
So london.pm.org DNS has been down for a couple of weeks now. Does anyone know what the problem is?

  • From what I can gather, the problem is something to do with pm.org's nameserver not delgating correctly.
    dig @193.82.57.128 london.pm.org
    Works fine

    Paul Makepeace is on the problem as sorting it out. Have faith that it will be resolved.

    Sorry for the Delay.

  • ns through ns3.develooper.com are all sending malformed DNS responses.  Any sane DNS server will reject such malformed packets.

    twilde@manganese:~$ dig london.pm.org. @ns.develooper.com. +short
    ;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet.
    193.82.57.128

    That way gets the address, but my caching server won't accept the malformed responses to give me DNS - any version of BIND will exhibit that behavior.  Track down the malformed responses and it should work fine.
  • it'd be infinitely more efficient to email me or dns@pm.org than to write about it here. :-)

      - ask

    -- ask bjoern hansen [askbjoernhansen.com], !try; do();

    • I thought that Paul Makepeace was sorting it out and talking to dns@pm.org. Anyway, Wayne has been busy and this is all about a lack of communication hence my journal post.
