Reposed as instructed. Hi guys. First off, I'm quite new to this all and strugling my head off. I don't know much of this all but I can make some sence of Linux and ISPConfig. (What a Noob!?) ha ha Right, I'm running ISPConfig 3 on Fedora 10 setuped through Perfect Server tut. I have 3 eth cards in my server, one for internal (10.1.1.210) firewalled by mikrotik router and the other two with a public ip each (196.212.216.75, ADSL fiber Billion router) and (196.212.78.51 ASDL sat Cisco router) ISP provider @ Datapro. The two DNS I got fromm them is 168.210.2.2 and 196.14.239.2, where I get my internet from. What I intend to do is to use one public ip for a ns1 and the second for a ns2 and register a domain gbsecwireless.co.za. So first, this is how my server cfg looks like: Code: [global] webserver=apache mailserver=postfix dnsserver=mydns [server] auto_network_configuration= ip_address=10.1.1.210 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.1.1.1 hostname=server.gbsecwireless.co.za nameservers=168.210.2.2, 196.14.239.2 [mail] module=postfix_mysql maildir_path=/var/vmail/[domain]/[localpart] homedir_path=/var/vmail mailuser_uid=5000 mailuser_gid=5000 mailuser_name=vmail mailuser_group=vmail relayhost= relayhost_user= relayhost_password= mailbox_size_limit=0 message_size_limit=0 [getmail] getmail_config_dir=/etc/getmail [web] website_basedir=/var/www website_path=/var/www/clients/client[client_id]/web[website_id] website_symlinks=/var/www/[website_domain]/:/var/www/clients/client[client_id]/[website_domain]/ vhost_conf_dir=/etc/httpd/conf/sites-available vhost_conf_enabled_dir=/etc/httpd/conf/sites-enabled [fastcgi] fastcgi_starter_path=/var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/[system_user]/ fastcgi_starter_script=.php-fcgi-starter fastcgi_alias=/php/ fastcgi_phpini_path=/etc/ fastcgi_children=8 fastcgi_max_requests=5000 fastcgi_bin=/usr/bin/php-cgi [jailkit] jailkit_chroot_home=/home/[username] jailkit_chroot_app_sections=basicshell editors extendedshell netutils ssh sftp scp groups jk_lsh jailkit_chroot_app_programs=/usr/bin/groups /usr/bin/id /usr/bin/dircolors /bin/basename /usr/bin/dirname /usr/bin/nano Second, I created a new client and a mail domain Then I added a site And then I added a DNS Zone with records I added a DNS record on my mikrotik so I can access the site www.gbsecwireless.co.za from my internal network And it is working perfectley fine. I installed Joomla and its working like a dream. Code: [root@server ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by NetworkManager search gbsecwireless.co.za gbsecwireless.co.za gbsecwireless.co.za nameserver 168.210.2.2 [root@server ~]# dig google.com ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2-RedHat-9.5.1-2.P2.fc10 <<>> google.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 63250 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;google.com.

I can ping both public ip's and co.za as well. Could it maybe be because of my ISP or is there something wrong with my config. Any help would be very apreciated!! Thanks in advance!!
co.za request This is the feedback request I got from co.za Code: Provided Nameserver information Primary Server : ns1.gbsecwireless.co.za @ 196.212.216.75 Secondary 1 : ns2.gbsecwireless.co.za @ 196.212.78.51 Domain "gbsecwireless.co.za", SOA Ref (), Orig "" Pre-existing Nameservers for "gbsecwireless.co.za":- Syntax/Cross-Checking provided info for Nameserver at 6a: ns1.gbsecwireless.co.za @ 196.212.216.75 IPv4: 196.212.216.75 ==> [WARN: No PTR records!] FQDN: ns1.gbsecwireless.co.za ==> [WARN: No A records!] Syntax/Cross-Checking provided info for Nameserver at 6e: ns2.gbsecwireless.co.za @ 196.212.78.51 IPv4: 196.212.78.51 ==> [WARN: No PTR records!] FQDN: ns2.gbsecwireless.co.za ==> [WARN: No A records!] ! !

If you want to host DNS records for gbsecwireless.co.za on ns1.gbsecwireless.co.za and ns2.gbsecwireless.co.za, you need a glue record: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System#Circular_dependencies_and_glue_records
Thanks for the reply Falko, I've done a bit of reading and researching and phoned co.za Uniform and asked them about a glue record. They told me that they only can set it up if they can resolve my domain a record. They also told my that my record table was not setup correctly. Do I need to change Type Name Data Priority NS gbsecwireless.co.za. ns1.gbsecwireless.co.za. 0 NS gbsecwireless.co.za. ns2.gbsecwireless.co.za. 0 to NS ns1.gbsecwireless.co.za 196.212.216.75 0 NS ns2.gbsecwireless.co.za. 196.212.78.51 0 If there is someone that could tell me if any of my settings in wrong, please help. All the thanks in advance!! Cheers.
