Hello, I have just finished configuring a new bind9 server on our network. :-) As a test I generated a report at www.dnsreport.com and it gave me the following error message: --- WARNING: Your SOA RETRY interval is : 86400 seconds. This seems very high. You should consider decreasing this value to about 120-7200 seconds. The retry value is the amount of time your secondary/slave nameservers will wait to contact the master nameserver again if the last attempt failed. --- The 86400 value is supplied in the Debian default configuration and also (for example) suggested here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/network-administrator/ch-bind.html Is Debian wrong in recommending this as a default? Should I worry about this and change the value? (The reason I am reluctant to do this is because there are nearly 50 domains defined on that server, which means I would have to remember some sed to write a script to change all of these values :-p ) Thank you in advance, -- George Borisov DXSolutions Ltd
