Public DNS

Hi,

I would like to set up FQDN that is resolvable externally, as when i use the ispconfig monitor app, the fqdn of my server dose not work and i ended up using my IP address for access. Also I think this is the main reason I have been having DNS issues,
can i setup my FQDN so that it will forward to the sub-domain itself? for example, http://server1.domain.com

 

I just contacted godaddy and they told me I have authoritative DNS control from my end, can you give me an example of what the A record should look like that I need to add to my DNS template, please keep in mind that this is for a subdomain, not the domain itself, such as: server1.domain.com not dmain.com if that makes any difference, as I intend to to make my FQDN the same as the subdoamin.

 

ok so, I was trying to do this by also adding revserse dns to my config, but I think I have made a mistake, I cant find any errors in the logs, but its not working, please check my config;

Code:

$TTL        3600
@       IN      SOA     ns1.mydomain. admin.mydomain. (
                        2015112704       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
                        14400              ; refresh, seconds
                        3600              ; retry, seconds
                        604800              ; expire, seconds
                        86400 )            ; minimum, seconds
;

Yes, Im trying to add reverse zones for the IP, how to I do this?

 

ok this is the PTR I made for the IP:

Code:

$TTL        3600
@       IN      SOA     ns1.mydomain. webmaster.mydomain. (
                        2015112707       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
                        28800              ; refresh, seconds
                        7200              ; retry, seconds
                        604800              ; expire, seconds
                        86400 )            ; minimum, seconds
;

2XX.XXX.81.in-addr.arpa. 3600      NS        ns1.mydomain.
2XX.XXX.81.in-addr.arpa. 3600      NS        ns2.mydomain.
209 3600      PTR        mydomain.

is the right? it loaded with no errors, but my FQDN is like server1.mydomain.com so should server1 so not beused somewhere in this DNS zone???

 

Done that now thanks, what about ns1, is that ok for this kind of zone, or should that be server1 aswell?

Also should this also include a SPF record?

 

think it working now, just testing.
