Bind/DNS?


Hey guys. I got in way over my head and rented a dedicated server. I have pointed my registrar to use my DNS server running on my dedicated server and I have no idea if I've set it up.

The domain name is citygab.ca and the ip is supposed to be 65.111.175.217. I have entered in various values for my webmin DNS section but I still don't see it propagating. Is there a way to tell if I have set up the DNS properly on my dedicated server?

Awww, thanks for doing that for me.

It does indeed work. Just needed to propagate to the DNS servers my ISP uses I guess. Thanks.

Either "citygab.ca" or "65.111.175.217" work just fine.

Oh those pesky homonyms:

Please take a peak at the movies section
I think you mean "peek", as in "look at"; not "peak", as in "mountain top". (And don't forget "pique", as in "fit of "pique" or "pique one's interest". )
