You can do (and test) a dns zone transfer this way:

dig @<dns-server> -t AXFR <domain>

If you don’t get a large list, you (source ip) aren’t permitted or astaro is used as firewall.

You have to do this:

1. Define a new service (Definitions->Services), you cannot edit it. Take the current existing dns-service as reference but change the field “Type of Definition” from “UDP” to “TCP/UDP”. Name it “DNS tmp” or so.
2. Change all your packet filter rules which uses the service “DNS” to “DNS tmp”.
3. Now you can remove the original (and buggy) service definition and rename yours from “DNS tmp” to “DNS”.

You will now be able to successfully do a dns zone transfer!

In a previous post (date 2007-10-06) I described how to install webminstats on your debian-system.

On most servers I always got following error message as a jabascript alert when loading the webminstats module-page (https://<servername>:10000/sysstats/):

missing library LWP : can not get sourceforge versions list

You can solve this problem in two ways:

• Easy one: Deactivate the build-in update check of webminstats. Goto “Module Config” on the module-page and set “0″ to the textfield “check update” and save it.
• OR: Download the missing library called “libwww-perl”. To do that, run “apt-get install libwww-perl” on the console.
