Hello, I am begiiner in Linux and needless to say i am weak in networking fundamentals also. I just wanted to setup dns server using bind9. Read few tutorials and did exactly what it said but i am getting output from my public dns server means even if i type any junk address like dig kjkljkjlkjkljkljkl.com it gives NOERROR message. My domain name should be bapaji.com and I want my domain to be my localhost only means i just want that when i type bapaji.com in mozilla it should ping to my localhost. That's it. I have not hosted my website, it's in development stage. When i did ifconfig i got this output Code: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:a9:81:82:87 inet6 addr: fe80::213:a9ff:fe81:8287/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1972 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2176 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1356415 (1.3 MB) TX bytes:388743 (388.7 KB) Interrupt:16 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:274 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:274 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:23537 (23.5 KB) TX bytes:23537 (23.5 KB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:de:d5:0e:68 inet addr:192.168.1.103 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::218:deff:fed5:e68/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:657 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1025 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:391293 (391.2 KB) TX bytes:150345 (150.3 KB) wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-18-DE-D5-0E-68-64-35-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP RUNNING MTU:0 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) I am behind router and it's default gateway is 192.168.1.1. Here is my named.conf.local Code: // // Do any local configuration here // // Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your // organization //include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918"; # This is the zone definition. replace example.com with your domain name zone "bapaji.com" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/bapaji.com.db"; }; # This is the zone definition for reverse DNS. replace 0.168.192 with your network address in reverse notation - #e.g my network address is 192.168.0 zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa"; }; Here is named.conf.options Code: options { directory "/var/cache/bind"; // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want // to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple // ports to talk. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113 // If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable // nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders. // Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing // the all-0's placeholder. forwarders { # Replace the address below with the address of your provider's DNS server 61.1.96.69; }; auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035 listen-on-v6 { any; }; }; This is my bapaji.com.db Code: // replace blogger.com with your domain name. do not forget the . after the domain name! // Also, replace ns1 with the name of your DNS server bapaji.com. IN SOA bapaji.com.( // Do not modify the following lines! 2006081401 28800 3600 604800 38400 ) // Replace the following line as necessary: // ns1 = DNS Server name // mta = mail server name // blogger.com = domain name bapaji.com.

But i don't know what is my dns server name. How can i know it's name? This is my rev.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa Code: //replace bapaji.com with yoour domain name, ns1 with your DNS server name. // The number before IN PTR blogger.com is the machine address of the DNS server. in my case, it's 1, as my IP address is 192.168.0.1. @ IN SOA bapaji.com. bapaji.com.

I guess this happens because you use the OpenDNS nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf. Please fill in Code: nameserver 145.253.2.75 as the first line in /etc/resolv.conf and try again.
