 Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 6:02 am Post subject: DNS (Bind) driving me nuts! |
 |
|
I really feel stupid, I've been playing with networks and linux for nearly 2 years now and I've been using dyndns for my domain.
Finally as my finance got better I decided to buy me a domain, nixadmins.net.
Now i have 5 static IP:s and I have 1 DNS running bind(Debian). The second ns is with the company I bought the domain name from.
Now I can't get this to work at all. I would post my named.conf and the db files but I'm at work, sorry, I'll post them in a few hours.
I've been browsing the forums for a few hours on DNS problems and can't find anything but nice tools wich don't help me, because I seem to be to stupid to read the info 
Anyone who has some knowledge on running DNS servers PLEASE give me a hand here and help me get that AHAAAA feeling.
dnsstuff.com seems to be a nice tool and
dnsreport dor my domain reports many "fails".
Thanks to anyone helping to resolv this.

bind is actually much easier than it looks, I found the important thing was making sure you got the PID file right, otherwise it won't start.
This is the best guide I have found, it's not 100% complete but it's very easy to follow and goes into plenty of detail.

Bind does start and it works fine as I use the same server as my cache server, but for some reason I cant access anything from another network. For example at work if I type http://thor.nixadmins.net I can't access it. dnsstuff.com seems to be able to ping it but I can't reach it.
I'm a little frustrated here.

Well I've been at it and I still seem to have issues with this. I am doing something wrong, that much I know. But I don't have a clue where the error is.
Someone with Bind experience please take a look at the configuration files.
/etc/bind/db.nixadmins

If you find anything please notify me.

The DNSReport tool seems to resolv everything now. I still only have 1 MX record and I'm waiting on my registars DNS to update itself but otherwise everything seems fine. Also there is no PTR records but this should work already, right?

I seem to have everything ok now since netcraft is able to resolv my hosts but my ISP:s DNS does not yet, I guess it's just a matter of time now.
