This is majorly screwed up. Don't put IN-ADDR.ARPA pointers in your zone
file. Besides, the pointer is wrong anyway. It would be 9 for rigel not 1.
Also, you are missing punctuation in your MX and CNAME
records. You better re-read the book because this is hosebagged.
Here is how you should do it:
-------------------- zone file for wldigital virtual domain -------------
;
; Addresses and other host information.
;
@ IN SOA wldigital.com. craigs.solar.os.com. (
96072100 ;Serial
43200 ;Refresh
3600 ;Retry
3600000 ;Expire
2419200 ) ;Minimum
; Define the nameservers and the mail servers.
IN NS solar.os.com.
IN NS venus.os.com.
IN A 199.232.136.79
IN MX 5 solar.os.com.
IN MX 20 venus.os.com.
;
;
; Define the hosts in this zone.
;
www IN CNAME wldigital.com.
;
----------------------------- named.boot -------------------------------
directory /etc/namedb
; type domain source host/file backup file
cache . named.ca
primary 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA localhost.rev
primary wldigital.com wldigital.hosts
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are on your own for IN-ADDR.ARPA stuff as it will not work anyway
unless your provider points his reverse lookups to you. Also, make sure
your local host 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA stuff is right. That's easy since
every host in the world has the same one.
Good luck,
Craig
