Read what I posted back in reply number 13. You do not have things set up well, and it isn't a DNS problem anymore, it is the way you did the virtual hosts.

Peace,

Dear Jim
Dont mistake me as if im keep on asking questions.Im in a pressure to finish this job.
I need to run my mail server first.I dont want 2 virtual server,later i will work on it.For that how to configure Http file. I have register my domain in godaddy.com. i have changed my nameserver to ns1.indyablog.com. Whether i hav to buy a own name server since i simply changed to ns1.indyablog.com. or by buying the domain itself they will provide us a nameserver i dunno.tell me.
Thanks

Dude, you're not listening to me.

The DNS is set up fine, as evidenced by this:

That means godaddy has the correct info about the IP address of your server. Now you aren't giving out answers, so your DNS config is either not running, or misconfigured:

Code:
jim@jimsworktop:~$ dig indyablog.com @220.227.28.84

As to the website, there is no problem with running virtual servers. Most people do. But I have been telling you since post 13 what is wrong, and you don't bother to read it. You asked for an explanation, and I provided it, yet you still didn't set it up like I told you. I am through helping you. Since you think you are in a hurry, I suggest you seek out somebody with a higher skill level than you have at present, and pay them to set things up for you.

Peace,
JimBass

As others have pointed out... your name server does not understand that it is the SOA for indyablog.com. Thus, its not going to return any answers for indyablog.com. This is no doubt a configuration problem with your zone file -or- you are not loading the zone in named.conf.

Long pause....
Did you know your name server is answering DNS requests for other domain names. This problem should be fixed as well in named.conf -once- you resolve the SOA problem for indyablog.com. e.g. recursion settings.

Suggestion:

Use command "named-checkzone" to test your zone file changes. I had to make some simple changes to your zone file to get the zone to load properly. hint: indentations <tab> for continuation lines from SOA entry.

Also, don't let the following side-track your efforts in fixing the above problems first... but since you are going to admin a public name server, I would strongly suggest that you secure your configuration using the following template. This is the template I use for all my name servers configurations.

scowles,

The thing is the names are resolving,but if u type www.mail.indyablog.com in ur browser it wont display anything.You add 202.138.96.3 in your alternated DNS section and try to browse www.mail.indyablog.com.it will work. i dunno y is it so?

Your domain registration is currently pointed to your name server at 220.227.28.84. But 202.138.96.3 is answering authoritatively for indyablog.com. Another oddity is when you query this server, it says 202.138.96.2 is the correct IP address. You really need to work out what DNS server(s) will be the start of authority for your domain. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.00. GET THIS WORKED OUT!!!!

Also, if you are in such a hurry, then why don't you just change your domain registration to use the other DNS servers (see below). They are at least answering correctly.
