BIND Configuration issue

JensonSandpiper · 05-21-2011, 01:11 PM

Hi there.

I'm having trouble getting BIND to work on ubuntu.

It won't resolve my domain properly, or any entries i've manually added in the zone file.

My zone file is:

bendall.com. IN SOA bendall.com. admin.bendall.com. (
2011052101
28800
3600
604800
38400
)
bendall.com. IN NS ns1.bendall.com.

www IN A 192.168.1.104
ns1 IN A 192.168.1.104

bendall.com 172800 IN A 192.168.1.104

and my named.conf.local file is:

zone "bendall.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/zones/bendall.com.db";
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
};

I followed a tutorial to the letter and it told me to use the named.conf.local instead of named.conf, but there's an 'include' statement pointing to the named.conf.local.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to LQ

Could you define what you mean by:

Any dig output would be useful to help you on this

Code:

dig ns1.bendall.com @192.168.1.104

Hi

Your zone file should look like this and only this:

Code:

; Start of Authority (SOA) records.
$TTL 1D
@  IN  SOA  ns.example.com. hostmaster.example.com.  (
                                      2011052401       ; Serial
                                      12H     ; Refresh
                                      2H     ; Retry
                                      604800    ; Expire
                                      1D )   ; TTL

; Name Server (NS) records.
                        NS   ns.example.com.

; Mail Exchange (MX) records.
example.com.            IN      MX   10 mail.example.com

; Address (A) records.
example.com.                     A       12.345.678.918
mail                            A       12.345.678.918
ns                              A       12.345.678.918
ftp                             A       12.345.678.918
www                             A       12.345.678.918

; Aliases in Canonical Name (CNAME) records.

and remember to change example.com to your domain name, 2011052401 ; Serial to appropriate date value (read from right to left is a date 05-24-2011 # 01) and 12.345.678.918 to your IP.
