Here is my named.biit file:
cache . root.cache
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa pz/127.0.0
primary integral.on.ca pz/integral.on.ca
and the zone file for integral.on.ca:
@ IN SOA integral.on.ca root.integral.on.ca (
199810031 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
7200 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400) ; Minimum TTL
NS plato2.ml.org.
MX 10 integral.on.ca.
integral.on.ca A 24.112.14.35
www CNAME integral.on.ca.
ftp CNAME integral.on.ca.
Does anyone see something I've missed?
You didn't miss it, you added too much. The zone file contains names
relative to the zone name (integral.on.ca). You have a definition for
integral.on.ca in this file, but doesn't end in a period, so it's
relative to the zone name: integral.on.ca.integral.on.ca. You have
two solutions:
integral.on.ca. A 24.112.14.35
or
A 24.112.14.35
(that will be relative to the @, which is the zone name).
