Windows 7 + Bind on Ubuntu - DNS keeps stopping
- by fistameeny
I have a Bind DNS server running from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server 64 bit. In there, I've setup some local A records for internal websites, e.g. wiki.domain.local.
Everything works fine, except that every so often (a few times a day), the DNS stops responding on client machines (running Windows 7). The only way I've found to fix it is to stop/start the dnscache service on the Windows machine. Sometimes if I just wait for a few minutes, the DNS will start to work again.
I've checked the Windows event log and can't see anything relevant. I've also had a look in the Bind logs and can't see anything there.
Has anyone experienced this before?
