I have a problem to setup bind dns server


Hello

I have a problem to setup bind dns server

I have a system centos 5.5


[root@server etc]# cat named.conf

PHP Code:

//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//
// DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - use system-config-bind or an editor

www.r7l.org
If you want to resolve www.r7l.org you need an A or CNAME record for it. E.g.
Code:
www IN A 216.245.218.168

Looks like you need A and PTR records for www, ns1, and ns2.

You add the A record in r7l.org.forward, increase the serial in the same file and reload bind

You already have a PTR record for this IP address.

However, if www is on another server, like 216.245.218.169 for example, then you'd add a line to the file r7l.org.reverse:
Code:
168       IN      PTR     r7l.org. 
169       IN      PTR     www.r7l.org.
Remember to increment your serial number and restart named.

You can't have two A records like that; if you're using the same IP for two entries, one has to be an "alias" CNAME record and one has to be the "real" A record. You don't show your ORIGIN record, so assuming it's fubar.org:

Code:
$ORIGIN  fubar.com.
$TTL     86400
@        IN SOA     @            root (
                    42           ; serial (d. adams)
                    3H           ; refresh
                    15M          ; retry
                    1W           ; expiry
                    1D )         ; minimum

@           IN NS             ns1
@           IN NS             ns2
fubar       IN A              216.245.218.168
            IN AAAA           ::1
www         IN CNAME          fubar.com.
ns1         IN CNAME          fubar.com.
ns2         IN CNAME          fubar.com.
I also added the entries for ns1 and ns2, because the intodns link you posted was complaining about them.
You already have a PTR record for 216.245.218.168 so you don't need two; you can delete the PTR record for www. You only need PTR records for A records. DNS is smart enough to trace a CNAME record to its A record and use that PTR record.

Says who? You can have as many A records you want pointing to the same IP. And it's better to use A instead of CNAME RRs, because you save one lookup.

@dr-php
Code:
	cat r7l.org.forward

PHP Code:
$TTL    86400
@        IN SOA    @       root (
                    42        ; serial (d. adams)
                    3H        ; refresh
                    15M        ; retry
                    1W        ; expiry
                    1D )        ; minimum

            IN NS        @
         IN A        216.245.218.168
        IN AAAA        ::1
www             IN A             216.245.218.168
You didn't increase the serial (the number 42 in red). Make it 43 and reload bind
