I have registered my domain with adstec (a registrar): mileswork.com I have an internet connection to my office with a Public IP (Static IP) : 202.157.203.30 I have installed ISPConfig to managed: 1. TYPO3 Hosting 2. Email Hosting 3. Name Server The reason of this is because I would like to park my clients domain name in my own Name Server. My server is behind a DLINK router which is doing the NAT and a simple Firewall. Hostname is: suse1 How do I go about doing this? I've subscribed to a Managed DNS services with Adstec and have created the following: A record : *************mileswork.com --> 202.157.203.30 CNAME record : *www ******************************suse1 NS record :************suse1.mileswork.com Have also created a Child Name Server : suse1.mileswork.com --> 202.157.203.30 Is this correct? If not how do I go about it? I can ping to mileswork.com but not www.mileswork.com or suse1.mileswork.com. dig output: toshlinux:~ # dig mileswork.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> mileswork.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 34647 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mileswork.com.

You let www.mileswork.com point to itself. That cannot work. You can let it point to mileswork.com or simply create an A record for www.mileswork.com. You use an internal IP address for aliztrade.com. This means that noone from outside your network can reach that domain. Is this what you want? You must create an A record for www.aliztrade.com - it doesn't exist.
My ISPConfig server is behind the router with an IP address of: 192.168.0.98 and 192.168.0.97. Following your sugestion I have made following changes in ISPConfig-Management-Server-Settings-Server: Server Name : Server 1 Hostname : suse1 Domain : mileswork.com IP Address : 202.157.203.30 (or should I enter 192.168.0.98) Netmask : 255.255.255.252 IP List: 192.168.0.98, 192.168.0.97 In ISPConfig-Management-Server-Settings-DNS: Default NS1: suse1.mileswork.com Default NS2: suse1.mileswork.com When I create site in ISPConfig, I select the IP adrress value to 202.157.203.30 and Co-Domain has no entry other that the first entry showing: IP->202.157.203.30 Hostname-> {BLANK} Domain->mileswork.com Is this correct? In My Managed DNS server with my registrar (ADSTEC), I have removed all CNAME records. Instead created the folowing A RECORD: mileswork.com -> 202.157.203.30 www.mileswork.com -> 202.157.203.30 suse1.mileswork.com -> 202.157.203.30 An also MX RECORD: www.mileswork.com Is this right?

It must be: IP Address : 192.168.0.98 IP List: 192.168.0.97 If you forwarded port 80 from your router to 192.168.0.98, it must be: IP->192.168.0.98 Hostname-> www Domain->mileswork.com and then a co-domain with a blank host field is added automatically. In My Managed DNS server with my registrar (ADSTEC), I have removed all CNAME records. Instead created the folowing A RECORD: yes.
You should also create an MX record for mileswork.com (without www) because you want to receive emails for mileswork.com ([email protected]) instead of www.mileswork.com ([email protected]).
I have to create the MX record at my registrar? I thought ISPconfig handle this? BTW, I can now ping: 1. mileswork.com 2. www.mileswork.com 3. suse1.mileswork.com But, ping the following, gives me my local IP 192.168.0.98 1. www.planima.com, planima.com 2. www.zafcotravel.com, zafcotravel.com Why? What should the entry in DNS Manager-DNS Entry be for the above sites? Example, for planima.com DNS Manager-DNS Entry-Domain: Server->Server 1 Domain (SOA) -> planima.com IP Address -> 192.168.0.98 DNS Manager-DNS Entry-Options Nameserver1->suse1.mileswork.com Nameserver2->suse1.mileswork.com DNS Manager-DNS Entry-Records A Record IP Address -> 192.168.0.1 Hostname->www MX Record Mailserver-> planima.com Hostname->{BLANK} is this settings right? Thanks, Jaf Faizal
It depends on what the authoritative name server for your domain is. If it's the ISPConfig server, then you can use ISPConfig's DNS Manager. But mileswork.com is handled by adstec.mercury.orderbox-dns.com so you must create the DNS records there. Because planima.com and www.planima.com point to 192.168.0.98: Code: dig planima.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> planima.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 62579 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;planima.com.
