1and1 Domains for nameservers

I found one post on this earlier, but it didnt answer my questions.

I used plesk before I decided to move to another control panel that didnt cost a ridiculous amount of money.

1and1 has a faq here about it, though its not exactly what I did.

I have a vps from Tektonic, and for plesk, I created two subdomains off of a domain (ns1.mysite.com, ns2.mysite.com) I made in 1and1 admin, assigned a different ip from my server to each subdomain.

Then for all of my domains under plesk, I added an ns record for each nameserver subdomain.

And it worked flawlessly.

It does not work with ISPConfig. Is there any way I can make it work with a 1and1 domain?

 

You might want to have a look at this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy

 

well

I may have something wrong in my config, but let me describe it in detail.

ns1.mydomain.info has an A record pointing to my main ip.

ns2.mydomain.info has an A record pointing to my second ip.

mydomain.info is set to my two name servers.

my servers hostname is www, and the domain name I put for it was my servers ip.

What is wrong with this?

 

Can you post the real domain name here?

 

appalhost.info

nslookup brings nothing up.

I editted the dns from my registrar for the nameservers and domain. THe nameserver subdomains I created at my registrar, they do not reside on my server.

I have it hosted on the machine. The ns records are entered at 1and1 directing to my server and the domains have the regular ns records on my machine.

The subdomains ns1.appalhost.info and ns2.appalhost.info were created at 1and1, and the A record entry for each pointing to my servers ips are at 1and1 aswell.

Hope that clarifies. Once again, the same thing worked with plesk 8 and 7.54.

 

I tested a bit:

Code:

mh1:~# dig appalhost.info

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> appalhost.info
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Please make sure that your firewall allows access to port 53 TCP and UDP.
What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

The hostname svr.appalhost.info does not work, and has not worked. For all intensive purposes it doesnt need to work for me, I can just use my ip. The setup here worked with plesk, appalhost.info was successfully hosted.

I can put the hostname on another domain name. Should I try that?

 

Your named isn't listening on all interfaces. What's in /etc/hosts and your named.conf?

 

hosts has this:

127.0.0.1 svr.appalhost.info svr localhost localhost.localdomain

named.conf has this:

options {
pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid";
directory "/var/named/chroot/var/named";
auth-nxdomain no;
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.local";
};

zone "77.210.207.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "pri.77.210.207.in-addr.arpa";
};


zone "appalhost.info" {
type master;
file "pri.appalhost.info";
};

 

Ok, this means that named is listening only on 127.0.0.1...
What's the output of

Code:

ifconfig

?

 

Code:

And what's in /etc/hosts?

 

had it above

 

Change it like this:

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
207.210.77.119 svr.appalhost.info svr

Then restart BIND. What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

then?

 

Done, and I added my second ip to hosts aswell.

Going to test it now

 

YAY! Everything works!

Thanks guys!
