DNS issues

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.

Do I have to create the A record:

mileswork.com
www.mileswork.com
suse1.mileswork.com

instead of just mileswork.com and the CNAME record:

www.mileswork.com
suse1.mileswork.com


Thanks

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?

All the above outputs are done at the ISPConfig server behind the router.
I have map all protocol to the ISPConfig server.

I am also not able to login into [email protected] using UebiMiau webmail.
I am also getting 'ERROR 403-Access Forbidden!' message if typing http://www.mileswork.com in the URL

What have I done wrong?

Thanks
Jaf

 

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:
