[comp.unix.questions] BIND Name Server and WKS RRs

ehrlich@psuvax1.psu.edu (Dan Ehrlich) (11/05/87)

We are running the BIND Name Server 4.7.2(Beta) and are having problems
with the WKS resource records.  Below are the database entries for the
host psuvax1.psu.edu:

psuvax1		IN	A	128.118.6.2
		IN	A	128.118.11.2
		IN	HINFO	Vax-11/780 Unix
vax1		IN	CNAME	psuvax1
		IN	WKS	128.118.6.2 UDP domain tftp who talk route
		IN	WKS	128.118.6.2 TCP domain ftp telnet smtp exec login shell printer

It seems that the name server never returns WKS RRs even though they
are in the data base.  The data base dump produced by sending the name
server a SIGINT definitely has WKS records in it.  I do not see
anything wrong with any of the above RRs.  If anyone has any
suggestions as to what is wrong I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks in advance.
