I registered a domain name from godaddy.com. They say you must select two
name servers to list on so I chose two of their park servers. I used their
website to add myself to one of the root servers and it worked fine. I now
want to run my own name server because I want to have several subdomains
such as 'person.example.com' and 'person2.example.com'. I took myself out
of the root nameserver with godaddy.com. I read the FreeBSD handbook about
how to run a nameserver, and here is what I have done.
my named.conf has this added to it. let's say my domain is example.com and
my my ip is 65.24.x.x
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
}
zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "example.com.db";
};
and this is what I put in example.com.db
example.com. IN SOA ns1.example.com. admin.example.com. (
2002111005 ; Serial
30M ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL
; DNS Servers
@ IN NS ns1.example.com.
; Machine Names
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
ns1 IN A 65.24.x.x
@ IN A 65.24.x.x
; Aliases
person IN CNAME @
I want to run the nameserer and the http server from the same computer.
Now when I type in http://example.com I get nothing. Does anybody have an
idea about what I should do. Thanks for the help.
