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?

I should add I tested this from hotmail, trying to send myself an email and
this is what it said when it came back to my hotmail account..

This is the Postfix program at host penguin.cbits.ca.

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..

FILE: cbits.ca.hosts

$ttl 38400
cbits.ca. IN SOA penguin.cbits.ca. jay.cbits.ca. (

5.182.11.66.in-addr.arpa. IN NS penguin.cbits.ca.
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! :-)
