Hi!

I have a windows 2012 server with dns running. I have created ptr record for let's say company xyz.com with ip of 10.0.1.22. The ip is the ip of a linux server running off the same network that I would like to make a slave and run via nginx a website for xyz.com. Can you point me in the direction to set this up? Do I need bind loaded in my linux box? I have the website setup via nginx and am able to run sites via localhost. But now I want to run the site for the world to see from from linux box. The site already was running fine in Windows over the web via IIS. I have DNS still running for the site in Windows, but have stopped services for the domain in IIS.

also do need to do any lines in resolve.conf, or named??

Note- I have set up a server listener in conf.d -->etc/nginx/conf.d/site1.conf

server {
listen 80;
server_name www.xyz.com;
root /var/www/site1;
index index.html;
}



So many thanks for any help.

Hi and welcome to LQ,

If you want to run a slave dns on the linux box, then yes you need to run bind


You should add an A RR for www.xyz.com in your master dns.
In the /etc/resolv.conf of th linux box you should use a nameserver authoritative for the domain xyz.com
