teaching myself some server tricks.

Getting trouble with bind9 on debian8.

named-checkzone pro.lan db.pro.lan.inv
zone pro.lan/IN: NS 'server.pro.lan' has no address records (A or AAAA)

my db.pro.lan.inv

    $TTL    604800
@    IN SOA server.pro.lan. root.pro.lan. (
    2015052402
    604800
    86400
    2419200
    604800
)

@ IN    NS    server.pro.lan.
254    IN PTR    server.pro.lan.
10    IN PTR    nas.pro.lan.

Any idea ?

Thks.

Your pro.lan zone specifies a nameserver of server.pro.lan, but does not define that record. You need to add a server IN A record pointing at its IP address.

Additionally, your pro.lan zone is what is known as a "forward" zone - it maps names to IP addresses, not numbers to names. PTR records are used to map numbers to names, and therefore PTR records are functionally useless in this zone. I recommend picking up a book on DNS and reviewing the fundamentals.

Also, please review this question before you decide to start doing anything with DNS in your production environment: Should we host our own nameservers?

Make a forward zone for pro.lan with an entry for server.pro.lan. NS records always have to be names, and those names must be resolvable. Apparently server.pro.lan is not resolvable currently.
