Hello.
I have a dedicated Centos5 64-bit server. Also, I have a domain name which I want to use to access the server using "server.mydomain.com". Currently, the server has apache running, however it is not reachable using any domain name (only by IP).
I have set up BIND and configured it using the tutorials I found on the net. If I run `host mydomain.com` on the server it returns the correct IP, however if I run it on my local machine it says "Host xxxx not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)". I called the ISP before and they told me that if I have a domain name (the domain names was not bought at the server provider) I have to set up my server's DNS server to that domain and all will work. Could someone explain me how such a thing can be done because I'm lost?
EDIT: If it changes anything, the server has ISPConfig3 running.
Thanks!
