DNS creates zones with .ERR extension

Hi,
I'm trying to create a DNS Zone with ISPConfig to work in LAN.
Router ip 192.168.1.1
Laptop (win7) 192.168.1.59
Server IP 192.168.1.5 / Hostname : mail.neoziv.com
I want to access my neoziv.com locally without entering 192.168.1.5 in the browser and not modifying the HOST file on the win Pc.

I've created a dns Zone with these parameters but it creates a .ERR file in /etc/bind

server name : mail.neoziv.com
client -
domain: neoziv.com
Ip :192.168.1.5
ns1 : ns1.neoziv.com
ns2 : ns2.neoziv.com
email: [email protected] (real)

Can it be a problem that the server name is mail.neoziv.com?

P.s I've tried a local with a local domain (intranet.local) still doesn't work.

Thank you for your support.

 

Hi,

when you want to host your own dns you need to register a host to your domain registrar.

ex for godaddy: http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/668/registering-your-own-nameservershosts

you also need to add a "A record" for each of your ns server with different ip address

if it doesn't find it's own ns server, the zone cannot be valid

the name of the server doesn't matter

hope it help

 

Hi ,
I added ns1 and ns2, hosts and A records for them.
I've tried to setup the dns in Ispconfig with the local IP (192.168.1.5) and with the public ip (94.52.....) but doesn't work .
I made new domain shop.neoziv.com , I don;t get the .ERR extension but can't access locally .

Any Ideas .... ? I don't know how ISP create the zone files but there are no forwarders, no reverse lookup .... and I'm afraid that if i do it directly on the server ISPC will not work properly.

Any insights ?

Thank you

 

in the dns of your server (System -> Server Config -> Server)

do you have your own server in the nameservers?

I had this problem and when I add my own server in the nameserver field, it start working

 

No luck

Hi,

I tried that but no, still get the .err message that says missing A record.
I've posted my issues here:

The DNS is the foundation for web hosting, I wonder why there is no clear cut step by step and requirements list to set it up properly.

I have to use a work around now (after 3 days of trying tons of combinations of tests). This work around is basically to run seperate DNS servers for our service domain, the domain used to handle all clients ns records.
