My DNS Configuration

[Wil McGilvery]

I have tried looking up cbits.ca and I cannot find any reference to the domain at all.

I also tried looking up cbits.ca with the servers listed in your message and got nothing.

Your server appears to have port 53 open(66.11.182.5), but your domain is not resolving. 

What happens when you try Dig or NSlookup on the local machine? 

Is your secondary server set up to get zone updates from your primary server? 

Regards,

Subject: [TLUG]: My DNS Configuration

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..

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! :-)
