GoDaddy and ISPConfig

Hi,

I have followed the post by falko on how to setup the nameserver with GoDaddy and ISPConfig.

When I get up to the stage dig ns1.ibtaus.info I get the following;

server1:~ # dig ns1.ibtaus.info

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> ns1.ibtaus.info
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

and for dig ns2.ibtaus.info, I get the following;

server1:~ # dig ns2.ibtaus.info

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> ns2.ibtaus.info
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

which looks a bit different to the one on the howto guide. Just wondering if this is normal? Thank you

Did you tell Godaddy that you wanted to use these two as your DNS servers as per the directions? Everything looks good to me.

 

Thanks Rocky for your fast reply,

I have encounter another problem with the howto guide from falko. I have followed step by step on the howto guide for setting up the nameserver. Everthing seems fine till I get to the stage to test with dig @ns1.ibtaus.com any sany.com.au, I get the following error;

server1:/etc/postfix # dig @ns1.ibtaus.com any sany.com.au

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> @ns1.ibtaus.com any sany.com.au
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thank you very much for your help.

Hi till,

Thank you for your reply, the result I got is as followed;

server1:~ # dig @localhost any sany.com.au

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> @localhost any sany.com.au
; (2 servers found)
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

Thank you

 

Hi till,

Yes, I got the following error when I restart BIND,

server1:/var/log # /etc/init.d/named restart
/etc/named.conf:48: zone 'ssfygifts.com': already exists previous definition: /etc/named.conf:38
skipped

The following is my named.conf;

options {
pid-file "/var/lib/named/var/run/named/named.pid";
directory "/var/lib/named";
auth-nxdomain no;
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." {
type hint;
file "root.hint";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "127.0.0.zone";
};

zone "40.173.203.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "pri.40.173.203.in-addr.arpa";
};


zone "ibtaus.info" {
type master;
file "pri.ibtaus.info";
};
zone "ssfygifts.com" {
type master;
file "pri.ssfygifts.com";
};

zone "ssfygifts.com" {
type slave;
file "sec.ssfygifts.com";
masters { 203.173.40.87; };
};

and the following is my netstat -tap;

server1:/var/log # netstat -tap

Thank you.

 

You cannot create a master and a slave zone on the same system. It also makes no sense because a slave is a fallback if the primary server fails - therefore it should be on a different machine. But as your primary and secondary DNS are the same machine none of the records will be available if the server goes down so the slave zone is redundant. Please delete the slave zone ssfygifts.com.

 

Thanks falko,

I misunderstood your howto guide so I put both in the same server. Thank you.

Hi guys,

Sorry to annoy you once again regarding this issue. I only have 1 server with ISPConfig installed and 1 public IP at the moment. Can I still built a nameserver for webhosting out of it? Because I have a problem setting up my domain name, since they only allow me to setup the nameserver only, no DNS control at all.

I read on the post:
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=36317#post36317

but I think they uses 2 public IPs here.

Thanks for your great help.

 

i have a similar question.
i have a server with 2 IPs, and already own multiple domains that i can use 2 of them to perform the setup.
thing is, i have just this one server.
can it work? anything i need to be aware of? (other than that a secondary zone is redundant)
any advices/hints much appreciated.

 

Some registrars might refuse to accept your second nameserver if it is on the same IP or the same subnet as the primary one, but you have to try it.
