Dear List,
I am trying to get my DNS all set up. I have The Complete FreeBSD and have followed it to the letter. Everything seems to be going well except:
I can ping www.acatysmoof.com
I cannot ping acatysmoof.com -
ping: cannot resolve acatysmoof.com: No address associated with name
Some info-----
named.conf
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
forwarders {
206.13.28.12; 206.13.31.12;
};
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "localhost.rev";
};
// These are the acatysmoof.com zones. One master and one reverse lookup.
zone "acatysmoof.com" {
type master;
file "db.acatysmoof.com";
};
zone "164.170.64.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "acatysmoof-reverse";
};
-------END of named.conf
db.acatysmoof.com
acatysmoof.com. IN SOA gouda.acatysmoof.com. alex.acatysmoof.com. (
2001052001 ; Serial (year,month,day,version_that_day)
86400 ; refresh (1 day)
7200 ; retry (2 hours)
8640000 ; expire (100 days)
86400 ) ; minimum (1 day)
; First, the domain name servers
IN NS ns
IN NS ns1
ns IN A 64.170.164.211
ns1 IN A 64.170.164.210
; and now define what to do with mail - the 50 is a preference number.
; for example the secondary mail server could be 100, etc.
IN MX 50 gouda.acatysmoof.com
; define the A records
; These are simply the machines on the network
alexlaptop IN A 64.170.164.210
gouda IN A 64.170.164.211
gruyere IN A 64.170.164.212
; define some nicknames
www IN CNAME gouda
ftp IN CNAME gouda
; about your hardware configuration and software
alexlaptop IN HINFO "Intel Pentium III 500" "Windows 98"
gouda IN HINFO "Intel Pentium 150" "FreeBSD 4.2"
gruyere IN HINFO "Intel Pentium 266" "Windows 98"
---------END OF db.acatysmoof.com
and finally:
acatysmoof-reverse
@ IN SOA gouda.acatysmoof.com. alex.acatysmoof.com. (
2000052001 ; Serial (year,month,day,version)
86400 ; refresh (1 day)
7200 ; retry (2 hours)
8640000 ; expire (100 days)
86400 ) ; minimum (1 day)
IN NS ns.acatysmoof.com.
IN NS ns1.acatysmoof.com.
; and now the reverse lookup records
; the number is the last number of the IP
210 IN PTR alexlaptop.acatysmoof.com.
211 IN PTR gouda.acatysmoof.com.
212 IN PTR gruyere.acatysmoof.com.
Can anyone explain why I cannot ping my domain when pinged as acatysmoof.com? The main reason I want to do this is because I would like to send mail to this address, but right now no mail server can resolve it. :(
Thanks,
Alex
