Hello ive setup my nameservers as glue records for my domain over 48 hours ago, the bind folder has the all the zonefiles there its just not propagating? and i can see why?
If you like to test the local dns server for a domain name without waiting for the caches to renew, use this command: Code: Post the errors of the named daemon (the BIND dns server logs under the name named) from /var/log/syslog
hello sorry for the late reply been on a stag weekend. i cant seem to find any logs for it when i type that command in? i did remove Apache from the dns servers if that has anything to do with it but i assumed not?
apache should not be related to that. Which output do you get on the shell when you run: dig @localhost yourdomain.tld replace yourdoamin.tld with the domain name that you configured in bind.
heres the output on ns1 and ns2 Code: ; <<>> Dig 9.8.4-rpz+r1005.12-p1 <<>> @localhost mdhosting.co.uk ; (2 servers found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no server could be reached hers the output on srv1 (where ispconfig is installed) where i had originally had my dns set up before trying to add these Code: ; <<>> DiG 9.8.4-rpz2+rl005.12-P1 <<>> @localhost mdhosting.co.uk ; (2 servers found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 58241 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mdhosting.co.uk.

The dns server is working correctly. so you should search for the issue elsewere. E.g. check if bind is listening on the external interfaces: netstat -tap and if there is no firewall blocking the dns queries.
heres what i get. im assuming this means its not running correctly Code: root@ns1:~# netstat -tap Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost.localdom:smtp *:* LISTEN 1981/sendmail: MTA: tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:* LISTEN 2475/mysqld tcp 0 0 localhost.lo:submission *:* LISTEN 1981/sendmail: MTA: tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 2023/sshd tcp 0 0 ns1.mdhosting.co.:60532 srv1.mdhosting.co:mysql TIME_WAIT - tcp 0 52 ns1.mdhosting.co.uk:ssh host-80-193-74-19:53209 ESTABLISHED 9514/0 tcp 0 0 ns1.mdhosting.co.:59871 srv1.mdhosting.co:mysql TIME_WAIT - tcp6 0 0 [::]:http [::]:* LISTEN 26927/apache2 tcp6 0 0 [::]:ssh [::]:* LISTEN 2023/sshd root@ns1:~# restarted bind9 got an error saying cannot bind to port. stopped it and started it again boom! whatsmydns shows it all around the world yay! i always forget about netstat! cheers till your the man!
