How To Run Your Own (Single!) Name Server With ISPConfig And GoDaddy 1. I have ispconfig installed on debian Etch 2. I followed "How To Run Your Own Name Servers With ISPConfig And GoDaddy " But, I used only one Server Since I have only one internet conection (godaddy support told me it is possible). 3. I checked with godaddy support which confirmed that my domain name osxmix.com ping to the actual Router external ip address. This what i get: Please help me, I never did this before and would like to be able to use my own server. Thanks for viewing.
You didn't specify any nameservers for osxmix.com: Code: mh1:~# dig ns osxmix.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> ns osxmix.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 21382 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;osxmix.com.

I'm still getting this: Code: mh1:# dig ns osxmix.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> ns osxmix.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 6565 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;osxmix.com.

By the looks of it your IP address is dynamic and has changed, so the glue record at godaddy no longer points at your dns/web server. I would set an cname with godaddy and use a service like dydns.
Does your server use dynamic IP addresses? It's a very bad idea to set up a nameserver on a dynamic IP address...
I believe that is your internal IP address. From looking at your glue records and you info above, I think you have a dynamic IP. The only way to be sure is to ask you ISP. It is highly likely that you do if you are not sure.
My ISP confirmed that my server use dynamic IP addresses. I've been offered to change my account from Residential to a Business in order to receive Static IP address. Is there any other option which would allow me to use my server as a web server without changing my account type?
You can use it as a web server, but I wold advise against using it as a nameserver. If you want to host web sites on a dynamic IP, I'd get myself a subdomain from dyndns.org and configure your router to update that dyndns.org subdomain whenever your IP changes, and then I'd create CNAME records for all your web sites' domains that point to the dyndns.org subdomain.
Please view what I've done; *** How should i change my current configuration in ISPCONFIG for osxfix.com (ns1,ns2,IP,...) and /or at godaddy.com? Is there something wrong and /or any additional configurations I should do?
This again means that you're using your ISPConfig server as the nameserver for osxfix.com which is a bad idea because it's on a dynamic IP address. Go to your registrar's web interface and configure your domain to use your registrar's nameservers, and in the same interface you then create a CNAME record for your domain.
By "my registrar's" Do you mean Godaddy or dyndns ? I've check them both; It would demand me to do more than just open my registrar's web interface, this option doesn't seams to be available. p.s. (Please don't wish me success at defending bad ideas.)
At GoDaddy under Domain Control Center --> Total DNS Control and MX Records link (below Total DNS: (Available)) (where is you define CNAMES) Is no longer executable after changing my nameservers to; NS1.DYNDNS.ORG, NS2.DYNDNS.ORG and Removing Host Summary (Green Tab at the bottom left corner of the screen). P.s.; 1. I'm behind a router with static ip (Use a Dynamic DNS Service (www.DynDNS.org)) 2. In ISPCONFIG --> DNS Manager I've deleted everything 3. In ISPCONFIG --> Management -->Server-->Setting-->DNS I changes Ns1 and Ns2 to dyndns.org
