Hey Guys, Firstly I have been using the howto guides since I moved to linux. They are an absolute godsend. i have mainly been using the perfect desktop guides... especially with Fedora. I am now setting up a some Fedora 8 server. I have been following the perfect server setup. I am however confused on many aspects of DNS. I want to host DNS on this server. It will also be used as a mail, ftp and web server. I have questions about the domain side setup and the server side setup... I have only 1 IP. Do I register that ip with: - ns1.mydomain.com - ns2.mydomain.com Assuming thats correct lets move on... On the first page of the the: http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora-8-server-lamp-email-dns-ftp-ispconfig you can enter a static IP and primary and secondary DNS server... So i use the ip 192.168.1.55 my host name is www1.mydomain.com because this machine is my dns server for primary and secondary dns server do I put 192.168.1.55 for both? Looking forward to your responses. And I understand I don't know what the hell im talking about for some reason i'm having trouble wrapping my head around DNS.. BUT I am willing to learn and want to learn Regards, dac9
One Last Quesiton... When I am setting the default gateway on my server... is it the local machines IP or my routers... I am now using a 3rd party dns solution... im using SoftLayers DNS to handle my home servers dns recrods
