This last line defines an NS record for ns1.colo-perrys.com., but it has no A or AAA record for it. You need another line just before or just after it like: IN A ip.ad.re.ss or IN AAAA some:ipv6:valid:ipv6::addr I don't think it likes you defining the zone without having a valid IP address for some default name resolution of the zone name. Either an A or AAAA record should suffice. I ran into this when I updated from F11 to F13. Adding a "default" AAAA address worked for me. You may be in trouble if you have a "dynamic" IPv4 address as you don't know what it is when you define the zone. > 100 IN PTR colo-perrys.com. > 2 IN PTR dadsoffice.colo-perrys.com. > 9 IN PTR mobile1.colo-perrys.com. > 10 IN PTR unclecarl.colo-perrys.com. > 4 IN PTR Dave-PC.colo-perrys.com. > 20 IN PTR Linksys-WAP54G.colo-perrys.com. > > ;EOF > > The error message returned by > > named-checkzone colo-perrys.com /var/named/chroot/var/named/perrylan.db > > is > > zone colo-perrys.com/IN: NS 'ns1.colo-perrys.com' has no address records > (A or AAAA) > > If I replace 'colo-perrys.com' with '1.168.192.in-addr.arpa', the zone > name from named.conf, then named-checkzone returns OK.
