Hi all I know this subject had a lot of threads along this community, and I've been reading a lot of it along this weekend, but turns out even following strictly all the recommendations I'v saw at some excerpts of the documentation, specially the part that covers PTR config, the results I got from MXTools always end up like mail.domain.com.z.y.x.in.addr.arpa. I've attached the screenshots so it would be easier to visualize any mistakes I've been doing. Thanks in advance if someone could provide any details about this issue. PS: I'm actually working in a Internet Provider company, which right now suffers from 'non-compliance' systems and I suggest to use ISPCONFIG instead of using a simple install of Bind and Debian. The thing is, I've been working for many years as Sysadmin and never got a chance to full implement ISPCONFIG as framework for internet providers. And yes, we own the IP entire block (actually 20 blocks) and I've tried in many ways to have it working, either creating the DNS zone manually, or by using the wizard.
I guess you missed adding the dots at the end of the records, any fully qualified domain name in BIND has to end with a dot. If you miss adding the dot, then BIND will add the zone name to the record.
Hi Till, thanks for such fast answer. I've attached the screenshot again, now with the dots. Is this what you mean? Update 1: I've also attached the results of the command 'host *ip* ns2.domain.com. I guess this is fine this way, isn't?
Yes. ISPConfig works in the exact same way that BIND works, so when you know how to create a zone in Bind, create it the same way in ISPConfig. And if you are unsure which field does what, have a look at the resulting BIND file to see what's get added where.
