Hi all,

I'm tinkering around with a VPS but struggling to setup BIND correctly.

IntoDNS report seems fine however Nabber's DNS Check gives the following error

Missing A record for ns3.mixial.com. (cached)
Missing A record for ns4.mixial.com. (cached)
All your DNS servers should either have A records at the zone parent servers, or do not need them (if the DNS servers are on other TLDs). A records are required for your hostnames to ensure that other DNS servers can reach your DNS servers. Note that there will be problems if your DNS servers do not have these same A records.

I've added A records (ns3 & ns4) to the domain's zone, restarted BIND etc but the problem persists, should these A records be added elsewhere?

Any help would be appreciated thanks :)

If you set 2 nameservers at the registrar (ns1, ns2) then use only these 2 nameservers in your zone files.
Otherwise, if you want to keep 4 NSes then you need to register ns3, ns4 in your registrar control panel too.

Thanks for the reply almanox, just to clarify NS1 & NS2 are pointing at another server.

I'm trying to setup a second server (completely unrelated) using NS3 & NS4 which I've registered to the correct IP's.
