  • When reloading the nameserver, error messages similar to this appears in the system log file:

    Apr  5 19:45:24 host named[6556]: domain.com has CNAME and other data (invalid)
    Apr  5 19:45:24 host named[6556]: domain.com.hosts:13:domain.com: CNAME and OTHER data error
    Apr  5 19:45:24 host named[6556]: master zone "domain.com" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial ####)

  • The problem is usually caused by records like this:
           IN CNAME        machine.domain.com.
    because newer versions of BIND will refuse to assign a canonical name (CNAME) record to a host name that also has NS or MX records assigned to it.

    Rewrite using the IP address if you really need a pointer for the domain name:
            IN A           1.2.3.4
