Hello all, I have configured a centos 5.5 following this guide but flipped it to i386: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.5-x86_64-ispconfig-3 Everything seems to be working correctly to my knowledge. But have a question reguarding the Bind DNS. I have just flip a domain to the name server of this server, removed all the records on that domain and made sure that port 53 is open. I also created the records in ISPConfig for this domain. I know it takes time for it to find its home but is there anything I can do to make sure that I have set this Bind DNS up correctly? I am new to the linux world so please be easy
I see a the status is :SERVFAIL Whats up with that? [root@secure ~]# dig @localhost xxxx.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> @localhost xxxxx.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 13881 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;deviontech.com.

Then your local server is not the authoritive nameserver for the domain deviontech.com. Please post a screenshot of the zone settings and the records tab of this zone.
A CName record can never point to an IP address. CNames point aleways to a domain. Delete the cname and replace it with a A-Record. Please post the zone tab too.
Till, I got it working finally. In ISPConfig I found the server dns does not get update with the chroot information. Record were being written in the wrong place. Thanks for the help.
I have the exact same problem, where the BIND server fails utterly after a complete clean installation following this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-3 When i dig localhost mydomain.com i keep getting SERVFAIL @ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. webmaster.mydomain.com.
