Hi,
am a newbie to linux, i've bought a domain from net4india.com , i want to host my website with my ubuntu server which is installed with bind9,apache2 and Mysql modules.
i've configured Dns and Apache2 with webmin tool as follwing
ISP information
static ip from ISP=122.169.***.***
and their primary DNS server=203.145.***.***
and sec DNS server=203.145.***.###
domain registrars information
name servers:ns2.net4india.com and the ip is 203.145.***.***
name servers:ns2.net4india.com and the ip is 203.145.***.###
A records ip address:my ISP staic address i.e 122.169.***.***
bind9 configuration which i've configured at my end
domain:mydomain.com
ip address:my ISP staic address i.e 122.169.***.***
1st name server:ns1.mydomain.com
2nd name server:ns2.mydomain.com
ns1.mydomain.com:203.145.***.*** (which is dns ip address of my ISP)
ns2.mydomain.com:203.145.***.### (as ISP dns ip address of my ISP )
is it my configuration correct?
do i need to change the registars name servers address and names also?
plz help me out form this.!
give me a correct configuration to get my DNS up and runnig
No, that's not correct. If you have BIND running on your machine, then your machine needs to be set up as a nameserver with the registrar. Most registrars have a simple webpage where you can change the authoritative DNS for your domain. Go there, put in the IP of your server, and remove the ISP DNS.
That was all based on this info:
Code:

By the way, hiding DNS info is pointless. You want every machine in the world to reach your DNS. If they can't see your DNS, they can't see you!

Reason: added points
No, you need to stand on your own two feet in my opinion. You do not have a nameserver running at your A record, as evidenced by this output:
Code:
jim@JimsBeastie:~$ dig net4india.com @202.71.130.4
; <<>> DiG 9.4.2 <<>> net4india.com @202.71.130.4
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
You are asking for help about something that has been posted probably 100,000 times across the internet. Zone files under BIND are hyper-documented. I am not willing to allow you to be lazy, you learn nothing that way. Install a nameserver (BIND) on your server, and get it running. Post if you have problems with that. Then once it is live, take over the delegation of your domain.
