Setting up domain name aliases

piersk · 10-26-2003, 10:01 AM

I'm running Debian 3 and am trying to set up the whole caboodle (mail, ftp, web, dns) on one server. I have a domain name (diablog.co.uk) which is on external domain name servers. I have the external DNSes set up so that certain subdomains (eg me.diablog.co.uk) are pointed at my server. However, my router can't cope with using these external DNSes since when I am trying to get to them from the inside. Therefore, I am using my server as a DNS server from inside my network.

My problem is that I can't create an alias for my server.

At the mo, my records look like this:

Code:

$TTL	43200
diablog.co.uk.	IN	SOA	rover.diablog.co.uk. 2003102514 (
			7
			15
			14D
			12H
			 )
@		IN	MX	5	192.168.7.100.
@		IN	NS	rover
rover.diablog.co.uk.	IN	A	192.168.7.100
me.diablog.co.uk        IN	A	192.168.7.100

Oh, and I'm using BIND9

You need the trailing "." (root) at the end of your fqdn like so:
me.diablog.co.uk. IN A 192.168.7.100

OR
simply have it as
me IN A 192.168.7.100

Either should work in BIND9
