bind-sdb ldap loading zone: creating database: failure

[Angela]

Have anyone been able to successfully setup bind-sdb with ldap backend?

I've tried for couple days without luck! I have a fully working ldap server,
and a working traditional bind/dns setup.

I installed bind-sdb (rpm package); changed my named.conf according to the
docs; but I am not able to get the
bind-sdb to connnect to my ldap server. Below is my named.conf:


.... cut ...

zone "example.com" IN {
        type master;
        database "ldap ldap://
127.0.0.1/zoneName=example.com,ou=dns,dc=mydomain,dc=com";
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        type master;
        database "ldap ldap://
127.0.0.1/zoneName=1.168.192.in-addr.arpa,ou=dns,dc=mydomain,dc=com";
};

When I start named-sdb (bind-sdb), its log shows it loaded the db-drivers
fine ...

BUT, when it gets to loading zone "example.com", it logged:

27-Apr-2009 22:19:16.005 zone gis.com/IN: loading zone: creating database:
failure

Same failure for ARPA of zone gis.com/IN:

27-Apr-2009 22:19:16.003 zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading zone:
creating database: failure

I checked my LDAP server's log and NO contact attemp was made by named-sdb
(bind-sdb).

I can retrieve my LDAP's zone entries fine with ldapsearch.

???

Thanks
