I am trying to setup some root and top level domain DNS servers in order to learn more. What I don't understand is what com.zone file would like like. Given that DNS servers for "com." are the list below:
Code:
a.gtld-servers.net. A 192.5.6.30
b.gtld-servers.net. A 192.33.14.30
c.gtld-servers.net. A 192.26.92.30
....
I have setup my com.zone file as below. But using named-checkzone I get the errors indicated. I don't know how one can avoid "ignoring out-of-zone data" message; and not sure why it is not letting me setup a delegation for "cnn.com" zone.
Code:
Mint12-32> more com.zone
$TTL 1D
@ IN SOA @ admin.a.gtld-servers.net. (
22 ; serial
1D ; refresh
1H ; retry
1W ; expire
3H ) ; minimum
;
; My name server(s)
;
NS a.gtld-servers.net.
NS b.gtld-servers.net.
NS c.gtld-servers.net.
a.gtld-servers.net. A 192.5.6.30
b.gtld-servers.net. A 192.33.14.30
c.gtld-servers.net. A 192.26.92.30
;
; my children
;
cnn.com. NS ns1.cnn.com.
ns1.cnn.com. A 157.166.255.19
;
; other addresss records
;
ns1.com. A 157.166.255.19
yahoo.com. A 1.2.4.1
google.com. A 1.2.5.1
a.com. A 192.5.6.30
Mint12-32> named-checkzone com. com.zone
com.a:14: ignoring out-of-zone data (a.gtld-servers.net)
com.a:15: ignoring out-of-zone data (b.gtld-servers.net)
com.a:16: ignoring out-of-zone data (c.gtld-servers.net)
zone com/IN: cnn.com/NS 'ns1.cnn.com' (out of zone) has no addresses records (A or AAAA)
zone com/IN: loaded serial 22
OK
ANY HINTS WELCOME.
