The following reply was made to PR misc/103814; it has been noted by GNATS. From: eazy bsd <eazybsd@yahoo.com> To: freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.org Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: misc/103814: cvsup11.freebsd.org dns issues Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 13:16:02 -0700 (PDT) > ns1.downloadtech.com is causing the problem. no. cvsupx.freebsd.org are all cnames to some other fqdn that is not in freebsd.org. this is a perfectly good way to do it as it lets the host org move things around at will without coordinating such triviality with hub@. the freebsd.org nameservers are happily returning cname results [non-recursive] as per the extent of their programmed authority. as an aside, perhaps these should also use that format: cvsup2.us IN A 130.94.149.166 cvsup7.us IN A 129.250.31.140 cvsup3.pt IN A 193.136.165.121 now back to the problem. when asked to recursively resolve the cvsup11 cname to an A record, or to do so via multiple finer grained queries... resolvers and nameservers [including freebsd.org. authoritative ones such as downloadtech if asked] will timeout because the uu.net records do not resolve as per the pr. the solution is any of: contact uu ;-] ignore it, cvsup to the ip, embrace uncertainty ;-[ find another mirror as good as cvsup11 ;-| as for contacting uu, there's no historical reference to 'cvsup11|research\.uu\.net' in the entire mail archive so no help there. failing others, try hostmaster@uu.net as listed in the uu.net soa. if someone does contact uu, let them know that of the three authoritative servers for research.uu.net listed in uu.net, the two authxx ones below do not seem to be carrying its records either. so if they're just caches and beast goes away, ergo research after a while. uu.net zone is missing glue to beast.research as well. @auth00 research.uu.net. IN NS beast.research.uu.net. research.uu.net. IN NS auth03.ns.uu.net. research.uu.net. IN NS auth50.ns.uu.net. the reverse part has been omitted. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
