My DNS Configuration

[Jay]

Hi all,

I set up my DNS and have let it propagate around the world for a few days. I thought I had set up my MX records correctly but apparently not. Here is all my DNS  information...

IP: 66.11.182.5
domain: cbits.ca
machine name: penguin.cbits.ca

Initially my IP resolved to jay.tor.istop.com but I asked my ISP to change that to penguin.cbits.ca. I have set up the nameservers where I registered the domain to point to my machine and istops nameservers.

NS1 = penguin.cbits.ca
IP    = 66.11.182.5

NS2 = ns.istop.com   
IP    =  66.11.168.199

I'm going to change the second one to everydns.net but for now I just wanna fix the DNS information on my box. 

Here is my named.conf file. I have put an entry for both cbits.ca AND penguin.cbits.ca. Is this necessary or can I get rid of the penguin.cbits.ca.?

key "key" {
        algorithm       hmac-md5;
        secret
"Some key";
};

controls {
    inet 127.0.0.1 allow { any; } keys { "key"; };
};

query-source address * port 53;
        listen-on port 53 {
                66.11.182.5;
                };
        listen-on port 53 {
                192.168.0.1;
                };

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

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
};

zone "cbits.ca" {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/cbits.ca.hosts";
        };

zone "5.182.11.66.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/66.11.182.5.rev";
        };

zone "penguin.cbits.ca" {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/penguin.cbits.ca.hosts";
        };


In /var/named there are files for each of these entries... here is what they say..

FILE: cbits.ca.hosts

                        38400 )

5.182.11.66.in-addr.arpa.       IN      PTR     penguin.cbits.ca.

Can someone point out the error of my ways. If you need more information, just ask. Thanks! :-)
