Hello, I'm setting up a nameserver on my VPS in ISPConfig 3. See attached images below - are these the appropriate settings? I realize that I will have a circular dependency problem so I asked the hosting provider to set up glue records, see the quote below: They responded saying : Now how do I verify that the glue records have been configured correctly? Furthermore I contacted the domain registrar and asked them: ...following the instructions found here:http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-run-your-own-name-server-with-ispconfig-3-and-fast-hosts They have not responded to me as yet. My aim is to have booksjamaica.com (and any other domain I set up in the future) to point to the nameservers ns1.booksjamaica.com and ns2.booksjamaica.com. I'm I going about this correctly?
When running nslookup -q=NS booksjamaica.com i get this: From your screenshots i would say theres a . (DOT) missing behind ns2.booksjamaica.com nslookup ns2.booksjamaica.com gives me: The glue records seem to be okay... Regards, Mike.
any reason for haveing no dot behind the ns2 record? (imho, i still think ispconfig has a strange way of displaying a zone)
Hi Mike, Thanks for spotting the missing dot! I fixed it. Everything seem to be working fine, except that I need to created some PTR (reverse DNS) MX records for the mail server. So that is my next task.
