Development: DNS + Postfix Outage

linux-howto

http://permalink.gmane.org – DNS Outage --- While upgrading the l10n.gnome.org machine, I hit a few issues while upgrading the bind9 package that was failing to restart for an openssl error. (which seems to be known, [1]) The same machine hosted our secondary DNS server but that wasn't a problem since our main host (clipboard) was actually up and running. Suddenly all the DNS zones got dropped and all GNOME services were actually unreachable. After a wider look at the Whois informations, we actually found out our old main DNS server (menubar) was still being listed as a nameserver, but no DNS services were host (Software)

Server Auto Outage 32 weeks 3 hours ago

Hello

Thanks.

Red Hat is currently in the process of consolidating all its community hosted servers to a single hosting facility. As part of that, the gnome.org servers are being moved *this weekend*.

You plan on doing something other than working on GNOME this weekend, or find a programming task that doesn't rely on access to GNOME servers.

Start: Sat, Dec 12 approx.

I have repurposed an old machine to serve as an Intranet server for our LAN. I was planning to use it to host some Drupal projects. I initially used Cherokee with PHP-FPM. It was working well when I was the only accessing it during development.

I'm trying to set up a server for my Django project, but there is packaged DNS support at my web host (the customer insisted on web host with lowest local ping times, so I can't change).

I have two internal dns servers set up and all my servers have both of them in the resolv.conf Our main dns server went down and suddenly no server could see each other. I edited a few of the servers resolv.conf manually and committed out the first (down) dns server and that machine would instantly be able to ping again.

Hi,

I am going to migrate the following databases back to our main Mysql machine (drawable):

- blogs.gnome.org - extensions.gnome.org - bugzilla.gnome.org

Those are currently hosted on a backup machine we used after drawable's RAID failure around two weeks ago. The machine has been fixed and the faulty hardware parts have been fixed by IBM.

I recently setup a virtualization server for the small company I'm running. This server runs few virtual machines that are used for development, testing, etc...

My business partner works from a remote location, thus I also installed a vpn server on the virtualization host to make it possible for him to safely reach the company services.

I've setup smtp mail server (by postfix) in my local linux machine and it is working fine with local mail accounts.

now, I'm planning to send the emails from my local machine (hostname: machine1) to other mail server (machine2).

whenever i try, i get:

<mailacc@machine2.com>: Host or domain name not found.

The previously announced outage for the gnome.org servers for Dec 12 and Dec 13 is now complete.

At this point, we believe that the GNOME servers are fully functional again.
