I am trying to setup a DNS server that would run on the local LAN,
I want to make the name login.nitj.in to be translated to 10.10.11.1

here is my named.conf.local file output

zone "login.nitj.in" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.login.nitj.in"; # zone file path
};

and here is my db.login.nitj.in file output


;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA ns1.login.nitj.in. admin.login.nitj.in. (
8 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL

login.nitj.in. IN NS ns1.login.nitj.in.
ns1.login.nitj.in. IN A 10.10.11.1




My server is not working please help

Hi,
What you mean with the above? Give us more details, like logs, errors you face etc, so we could actually help you.

Anyway if you want "login.nitj.in to be translated to 10.10.11.1", you need to add
Increase the serial number and reload zone (or named)

Thanks for the reply first of all.
I have mentioned before that i have added the line
login.nitj.in. IN A 10.10.11.1
in the db.login.nitj.in as you told.
Problem i am facing is that when i connect other computer with a LAN cable to my computer and enter login.nitj.in in its
web browser, it is not able to translate to 10.10.11.1

Why am I not seeing it?
Take a look again at your zone file. You have
that is not the same host as login.nitj.in.

Don't be confused with the lines The 1st line just tells that the authoritative nameserver for the domain login.nitj.in is the host ns1.login.nitj.in while in the 2nd line you just assign the host ns1.login.nitj.in an A RR. So the plain login.nitj.in does not have an A RR.
Just to make it more clear, see the following zone file:

So final zone file should look like this?


and can you please clarify me the meaning of line

Nope.
You need to add the A RR also for ns1.login.nitj.in or else it could not be resolved. Take a look again at my previous post.
And don't forget to increase the serial and reload the zone, so named reads the changes you've done.


This is the SOA RR of the zone file.

Regards
