Dns Configure -- Emergency

Hi,

I have some problem with my registrar and DNS

i would like my server to be his dns server, so i won't have to add any sub domain in my registrer dns who don't accept wildcard.

But i don't know exactly how to do it
My server is behind a NAT so ISPCONFIG is configured like PERFECT SETUP tell
and so ispconfig ip is 192.168.0.100 if I make a
DIG @192.168.0.100 mydomain.com : it's work
but if i make a DIG @ext.ern.al.ip mydomain.com it doesn't work ..

My registrar can let me change my dns server but he verify if the ip and the dns name server are correct .. so he always said me that it's wrong.

Should i change ip adderss and mask in ispconfig to put my external ip address or should i change only the dns address and where ???

Thanks

( i've try the tutorial with godaddy but it doesn't work ( ispconfig use my local ip )

 

You shouldn't use your internal IP address, use your external (and fixed, not dynamic) IP address. In the Internet all servers communicate on external IP addresses.

Btw. the internal IP is for use on your local network and in best configuration external users shouldn't never know your internal IP!

 

So why the PERFECT SETUP use a local ip address to configure ispconfig

When i make a dig on @192.168.0.100 i have my external ip appearing and
my dns server ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com

 

Ok

So what file do i need to change ?

 

I ve only one server
should i need another to change my registrar DNS ?
or are there address
ns1.domain.com --- > point to my ip ( external )
ns2.domain.com --- > point to the same ip

 

@registrar side you have to be able to define NameServers and point them at your server's external IP (eg. in mentioned GoDaddy example), OR configure DNS services at your registrar (mostly called "Managed DNS" and non-free)..

@your server's DNS (using ISPConfig) - define "A" record for, eg. NS1 and NS2 to point to external IP address of your server.

 

it seems to work .. my registrar has accepted to change dns server .
so now i think it will take 24-48 hours to change ..

Thanks you guys

 

Is there any way to know if it work without waiting the propagation time ?
Do my server need to run during the propagation process ?

 

yes, use Dig to check, as Till suggested ...

 

okay dig @internal return my external ip
But with Whois : in nameserver there the old dns not the new
Normal ?
Do i need to keep my server on during propagation process or can i shut it down ?

 

Hello,

I have a very similar problem.

I created 2 A records in my Domain.

1. ns1.domain.de -> IP 82.xxx.xxx.xxx
2. ns2.domain.de -> IP 83.xxx.xxx.xxx

IP number 1 is the main IP for the whole server and all webs listen to this.
IP number 2 is a IP from a second IP net (need for DENIC).

Both IP's are in webmin:
IP 1: eth0
IP 2: eth0:3

Also the IP 1 is in the server configuration from ispconfig.
IP 2 is insert in the text box below in admin section of ISPconfig.
After I went to my registrar, where I try to update the domain.de
domain.de
-> ns1.domain.de IN A 82.xxx.xxx.xxx
-> ns2.domain.de IN A 83.xxx.xxx.xxx

All I get is an DNS from DENIC.

Can anybody tell me, what's wrong? I tried to provide as much as information as possible.

 

It's simple - it says that DENIC couldn't get any reply from your NS2, I guess you didn't configure it?
What is the second IP from? Is it another server?? It has to be and also has to have the same DNS data like NS1. You have to configure DNS on this NS2 to mirror the NS1 settings, because both are authoritative for subdomains of your main domain.
For more information and understanding how DNS'es work look at excelent tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/traditional_dns_howto

 

Hello,

thanks,
the second IP is from an different Class C net. This is required for the ns2
But I add this as virtual IP so that I asume, it take the data from IP 1.

I will read the posted howto now and hope. I understand a bit more..

 

First I want ns1.domain.de and ns2.domain.de use for this domain.de

After, when it is working, I want to use n1.domain.de and ns2.domain.de for other domains also.
