Astaro DNS Zone Transfer problem

There is a bug in the astaro version 7 preventing dns zone transfers.

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!
