BIND configuration

pasadia · 10-19-2011, 04:20 AM

Hello all,

I'm trying for a couple of days to configure a simple DNS server but it just doesn't work. The think is simple. I have a static public IP address: 1.1.1.1 and I recently bought a domain name: gigi.com. All I want to do is to redirect gigi.com to 1.1.1.1 (Apache server).

So installed bind.

the named.conf file looks like this:

options {
directory "/var/named";
};

zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "gigi.com" IN {
type master;
file "named.gigi.com";

And the file "named.gigi.com":

$TTL 14400

; Specify the primary nameserver ns1.example.com in SOA
@ 14400 IN SOA ns1.gigi.com. hostmaster.gigi.com. (
2008092902 ; Serial in YYYYMMDDXX (XX is increment)
10800; refresh seconds
3600; retry
604800; expire
38400; minimum
);
; Website IP Address specified in A record

IN A 1.1.1.1

; TWO nameserver names

IN NS ns1.gigi.com.
IN NS ns2.gigi.com.

; Nameservers and their corresponding IPs

ns1 IN A 1.1.1.1
ns2 IN A 1.1.1.2

; Specify here any Aliases using CNAME record

www IN CNAME 1.1.1.1

};

Named daemon is runnig with no errors. But the domain: gigi.com does work. Nslookup doesn't give 1.1.1.1 as name server. Please help.

what is the output that you get when you do

Code:

#dig -x 1.1.1.1

#dig ns1.gigi.com

I would also like to see the output of these files

Code:

#vi /etc/resolv.conf
#vi /etc/hosts
#hostname
