try to make a DNS server

Flawless · 08-28-2003, 11:15 AM

Hi well im running into problems making a DNS server. I am trying to run 2 domains off 1 ip, well i duno where my problem is. But here is my config files.
---------------
named.conf
---------------

options {
directory "/var/named";
query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "dilluted.org" {
type master;
file "dilluted.org";
};
{

---------------
dilluted.org
---------------

$ttl 38400
dilluted.org. IN SOA ns.dilluted.org. oosupermanoo@cableone.net. (
1027094177
10800
3600
604800
38400 )

dilluted.org. IN NS ns.dilluted.org.
dilluted.org. IN A my ip

www.dilluted.org. IN A my ip
ftp.dilluted.org. IN A my ip
www.infliction.net. IN A my ip

i have the rest of the files also if you need to see those. NS. DILLUTD.ORG works but when you go to either dilluted.org or infliction.net neither one of them work. I have also set up the VHOST in Apache. Thank you.

My example zone file:

Quote:

$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA mydomain. hostmaster.mydomain. (
200207181 ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
8H ; refresh, seconds
2H ; retry, seconds
4W ; expire, seconds
1D ) ; minimum, seconds
;
NS ns ; Inet Address of name server
MX 10 mail.mydomain. ; Primary Mail Exchanger
;
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mydomain. A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ns CNAME mydomain.
mail CNAME mydomain.
www CNAME mydomain.
ftp CNAME mydomain.

For your second domain you need another entry in named.conf and new zone file (can be exactly the same as the first one, with only a different domain).

What happens when you try to run 'dig yourdomain' at your DNS server machine?

It looks that it works. To ask your own server use 'dig @localhost yourdomain' (from server). Try also with something like 'ns.yourdomain', ftp.yourdomain (if you have it in the zone file). The answers should be similar - have data in 'ANSWER' section.

It all looks correctly. Everything should work now. Does it?

Flawless · 09-03-2003, 04:22 PM

no i think it could be with the registrar....i think it has to be because everything is configured correctly on my box. Could you think of anything else?

Mara · 09-04-2003, 04:17 PM

Probably registration problems. Try one thing: set your DNS Ip as one of your machines' primary DNS. Everything should work nicely. If it does, ask your registrar.
