I know there have been similar posts in the past, but after exploring them, they didn't appear to apply completly to my situation. ISPConfig Version: 3.0.5.4p9 Debian 7 Squeeze/Sid mirrored servers (all services) I am working toward migrating away from using my registrar's DNS servers to my own. (ISPCONFIG) In previous discussions it was recomended that both servers be on the same physical location to avoid DB corruption via poor quality connections. It would appear to be challenging to have the slave server be on the same private network and not have it public facing. Is it possible to create an offsite ISPCONFIG slave for secondary DNS at a different physical location with a high reliability connection via the same ISP on a 100mb down/7mb up connection? Webserver0 (public via NAT) Private address10.3.192.20 Webserver2 Behind Firwall (private address 10.3.192.21) on another note here is the error log when I try to add a domain. Writing BIND domain file failed: /etc/bind/pri.dmgenterprises.xxx zone dmgenterprises.xxx/IN: NS 'ns0.dmgenterprises.xxx' has no address records (A or AAAA) zone dmgenterprises.xxx/IN: not loaded due to errors. here is the template I used to create the record (default) [ZONE] origin={DOMAIN}. ns={NS1}. mbox={EMAIL}. refresh=7200 retry=540 expire=604800 minimum=86400 ttl=3600 [DNS_RECORDS] A|{DOMAIN}.|{IP}|0|3600 A|www|{IP}|0|3600 A|mail|{IP}|0|3600 NS|{DOMAIN}.|{NS1}.|0|3600 NS|{DOMAIN}.|{NS2}.|0|3600 MX|{DOMAIN}.|mail.{DOMAIN}.|10|3600
This does not matter for dns only mirrors as a dns mirrror does not use any mysql based db mirroring and the ispconfig mirroring does not suffer from latency issues. So you can have dns servers located all arounf the world in different data ceters with ispconfig. There is neither a high speec nor low latency connection required. You missed to add A-Records for the NS records.
I added an "A" record same error Writing BIND domain file failed: /etc/bind/pri.dmgenterprises.xxx zone dmgenterprises.xxx/IN: NS 'ns0.dmgenterprisesxxx' has no address records (A or AAAA) zone dmgenterprises.xxx/IN: not loaded due to errors.
The A-Record is just "ns0". Edit the A-Record, change the content of the name field to "ns0" and press save.
Same Error... Writing BIND domain file failed: /etc/bind/pri.dmgenterprises.xxx zone dmgenterprisesxxx/IN: NS 'ns0.dmgenterprises.xxx' has no address records (A or AAAA) zone dmgenterprises.xxx/IN: not loaded due to errors.
Then there must be a typo somewhere in one of the records or you mixed 0 and O or something like that. The error message is clear, the A-record for ns0 is missing and Bind will not load this zone until you add it. You can also check that in the zone file directly.
