The problem is, I need the short name to be also working . Right now, I can use FQDN without problem
Here's my conf
named.conf
Code:
options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
forwarders { 8.8.8.8; 4.4.4.4; };
notify no;
};
# This is where you put in the link to the zone you
# want to serve
zone "labs.com" in {
type master;
file "/var/lib/named/labs.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";
zone file labs.com.zone
Code:
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.labs.com. root.labs.com. (
2013042201 ;Serial
3600 ;Refresh
1800 ;Retry
604800 ;Expire
86400 ;Minimum TTL
)
; Specify our two nameservers
IN NS ns1.labs.com.
; Resolve nameserver hostnames to IP, replace with your two droplet IP addresses.
ns1 IN A 10.0.0.15
; Define hostname -> IP pairs which you wish to resolve
labs-host1 IN A 10.0.0.12
labs-host2 IN A 10.0.0.14
Hmmm, I don't know if I've to add +search at the dig
You need it if you want dig to use /etc/resolv.conf to resolve the "short name". From the dig manpage:
Quote:
+[no]search
Use [do not use] the search list defined by the searchlist or domain directive in resolv.conf (if any).
The search list is not used by default.
