How to allow DNS transfers to a specific IP ?

[lewis]

hello all,

i want to allow all dns transfers to my second server running ensim pro for linux.
i managed ensim to request some zones from the server running plesk 10 cp, but i get these messages:

zone xxx.org/IN: refresh: unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL) from master xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0)

so, i suppose the problem is at the plesk server...

how can allow this ?


rgds,

George

i did it,
but i keep getting such messages in ensim box...
and zones are not transfered.

Nov 7 13:33:52 vhost named[9360]: zone mydomain.com/IN: refresh: unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL) from master xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0)

I think it is common DNS issue not related to Plesk. SERVFAIL indicates that domain exists and your root name servers have info on the domain. But the authoritative name servers are not answering queries for the domain.
Here's a decent tutorial on DNS - http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Unix/dnstroubleshooting.php
I hope it will help.

well the situation is like this...

i have an ensim server (x).
a friend has a plesk server (y)
i have some domains hosted on ensim server

when i run "dig @yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy mydomain.com" from x server, i get SERVFAIL
when i run "dig @yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy hisdomain.com" from x server, i get NOERROR (hisdomain.com is a domain hosted by the friend on plesk)
when i run "dig @yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy mydomain.com" from an external server, i get NOERROR

i'm a little confused...
