I'm working on setting up host auto-discovery for Nagios using DNS records.
When I try to use dig axfr to do a zone transfer (dig axfr local.domain.com), however, I get the following output:
[jwestbury@nagiosv local]# dig AXFR local.domain.com
; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6_4.6 <<>> AXFR local.domain.com
;; global options: +cmd
; Transfer failed.
The DNS server I'm querying is not showing anything in its logs for this query. If I change the domain to a non-existent one, I do see an entry in the DNS Server logs in Event Viewer, so I know the queries are hitting the DNS server fine.
Is there something special I need to do in order to allow AXFR transfers from the Nagios machine? Or is there somewhere else I should be looking for logs on the Nagios machine to indicate what might have happened when I tried to perform the transfer?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
