Hello Waitman,
Time ago I made the attempt to setup my own DNS in the same
machine I had my web server running. DNS was the only thing I
was not able to automatically update in the system with my
scripts each time a new customer purchased a service. It would
be wonderful for me if you or anyone here at least confirm me if
it is really possible.
I read bind9 manuals and learned how to write my zones in the
way you show above. But I couldn't get it working. Finally I
assumed that DNS should be run in a different machine. Since
then I use freedns.afraid.org. At this time I had to get the
job done so I left this subject pending. If it is really
possible I ignore what I could missed, I tried hardly. I even
asked in a bind mailing list and some guys implied, without
giving me details, that it will not propagate.
Perhaps, at that time, I failed in doing something related to
what you explain in your 3rd paragraph.
And now, for all the list: honestly I am glad to have found this
place. It is not common to find in mailing list and forums
(included freebsd forum) this level of help, discussion and
affable treat, (no, I am not telling this because the "happy new
year", I am being objective :-)).
Anyway, happy new year to all!
Walter
