Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 2
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 3
Situation
New DNS resource records are not working, even after restarting novell-named
Resolution
After adding resource records in the DNS/DHCP Management Console, click Refresh. Or after adding resource records in iManager, click Done. Then restart novell-named (rcnovell-named restart).
Additional Information
novell-named reads the SOA on the zone to determine if it is necessary to reread the zone information to get changes. Objects are added to eDirectory when the resource records are added, but the SOA is not updated until Refresh or Done is clicked.
