I have now get everything setup on MyDNSConfig, Added a couple of zones and records in the zones etc. Changed my computers resolve.conf to point to the mydsn server. 1. I can ping the newly added zones no problem eg ping www.mydomain.com, reply, reply, reply etc. 2. I can no longer get internet access as the external DNS is no longer resolving eg I cannot ping " google.com " or any other not in " mydnsconfig " server. Maybe I missed a step , how do we get the ' root zones ' into mydns ? Or is it something else entirely Thanks guys. madmac
Done Changed back my /etc/resolve.conf Still curious as to where mydsnconfig stores the " root" server info, is it in the mysql database ? Thanks again Falko
mydns is not a resolving nameserver. If you want to use it as a resolver you have to specify the IP address of an external nameserver in the mydns.conf file.
