I am not a DNS man or anything, however, I am trying to setup the DNS server on my Raq4.

this is what I did!

1- I only have one IP on this Raq4, so I registor ns1.myserver.com.

2- I setup the Parameters for the DNS server on the control panle as following :

Myserver.com ---> 1.1.1.1
ns1.Myserver.com ---> 1.1.1.1
www.Myserver.com ---> 1.1.1.1
1.1.1.1/24 ---> Myserver.com
Myserver.com mail is sent to the High priority mail server mail.Myserver.com

I did more named.conf :

options {
directory "/etc/named";
};
zone "." { type hint; file "db.cache"; };
zone "Myserver.com" { type master; file "pri.Myserver.com"; };
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "pri.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa"; };
zone "1.1.1.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "pri.1.1.1.in-addr.arpa"
; };


I guess this sould be what I have to do to run a DNS server on a RAQ? my question is the following!

1- when I add a site, will the Raq be smart enough and know that I am running a DNS server and add the site to my DNS, or I should do this by myself?????

2- how would I test wether my DNS server is running the way It should run???


Please guys " HELP ME OUT" LOL

1. Nope, you have to add it manually
2. You should create a record with a domein ending with .nl....for example .... http://www.domains.nl. Then go to http://www.domain-registry.nl/nscheck.lp. This is a script which checks your DNS, only works with .nl domains.

I think you need to be a member of SIDN nd have a login and password for that Juan ;)

You can use nslookup to check it out.
CyberKit is a popular windows nslookup tool,
can be downloaded from www.tucows.com
