Hi Till et.el, Hope you guys doing well. I setup a server, client website DNS records are resolving fine. The primary hostname. myhostname.com also setup however it is not resolved. I used DNS tools and it shows they no records exist. However, in the panel I have all the records. Any help will be appreciated. Using the most revet panel: 3.0.4p1 CentOS 6.X With many thanks in advance. Ramin
ensure that the a-record for myhostname.com ends with a dot: incorrect: "myhostname.com" correct: "myhostname.com."
Till, Doing so, generated pri.myhostname.com.err in var/named and server start sending email out: WARNING - Writing BIND domain file failed: /var/named/pri.ourmanitoba.com zone ourmanitoba.com/IN: NS 'ns1.ourmanitoba.com' has no address records (A or AAAA) zone ourmanitoba.com/IN: NS 'ns2.ourmanitoba.com' has no address records (A or AAAA) zone ourmanitoba.com/IN: not loaded due to errors.
Then there must be a typo in one of the records or the zone name. Please post the file pri.myhostname.com.err

The A-records for the ns records are mising. when the ns records are subdomains of the same zone, then you will have two a-records: ns1.ourmanitoba.com. 86400 A 205.200.66.139 ns2.ourmanitoba.com. 86400 A 205.200.66.139 in ISPConfig.
Thanks till. I add the records and it is resolving now. WhenI do DNS report it says: No CNAME record found. No PTR record found. Do I need them? Ramin
No. You should have a ptr record. But this is most likely set by your ISP, the one that assigned you the fixed ip address for your server as this record has to be set in the reverse zone of the IP address and not in the zone of your domain name.
