    How do I make the dns listen on two different IP's?

    How would I assign two unique IP's to my box?

    So in my config file I setup 4 zones

    as follows

    zone "ns1.domain.ca" {
    type master;
    notify yes;
    file "/etc/bind/db.domain";
    allow-transfer {192.168.1.239;} ;
    };

    zone "ns2.domain.ca" {
    type slave;
    file "/etc/bind/db.domain-ns2";
    masters {192.168.1.237;} ;
    };


    Here are the reverse zones - not sure if I set this up correctly


    zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    notify yes;
    file "/etc/bind/db.127";
    allow-transfer {192.168.1.239;};
    };

    zone "192.168.1.in-addr.arpa" {
    type slave;
    file "/etc/bind/db.127-ns2";
    allow-transfer {192.168.1.239;};
    masters {192.168.1.237;};
    };


    I tried a dig and it worked. Not sure how to test that there are actually two dns services running on my box - any ideas?

    Also the bind9 service would not allow me to have the same zone names for ns1.domain.ca and ms2.domain.ca

    originally I had two zones called

    domain.ca


    I was planning on actually using this box to deploy my website to and using the dns service on my box. Will this still work? Or because the zone name is now ns1.domain.ca and ns2.domain.ca it will no longer resolve?

    DON'T RUN MORE THAN ONE DNS SERVER ON ONE BOX.

    Get a freakin secondary service or something and slave off it.

    My experience with them was not good. They may run a great service, but they treat their customers badly - at least, that was my experience.

    Once, I had problems and they were really late responding. When I expressed my disappointment, they refused to accept that they were late, although I posted screenshots from their own ticketing system which clearly showed the time delays. Whoever answered (I think it was the boss) said something to the effect of 'we can't do more when you are paying $5 per month'. I had opted for the $59.95 per year service.

    The real shock came when I persisted in telling them (very politely but firmly) they were really late and in response, they simply shut down my account without warning. Yes, they actually did that.

    Fortunately, none of the 25-odd domains I had added at that point were pointing to DNSME yet - I had been on the verge of doing so - or, I would have been in real trouble.

    They would also merge tickets whenever they fancied it so that it was no longer possible for me to follow the trail of support tickets I had posted.

    Net result was that I lost $60 and ended up with a bad feeling about the whole experience. They only refunded $19.95 that I had recently added for more domains. I had been with them for about 3 months at that point.

    The irony of it is that I now spend hundreds of dollars each year with EasyDNS and Nettica. May not be on the same level as DNSME, but, at least they treat their customers with respect and their behaviour is not cheesy.

    If you need immediate and fast support why wouldn't you sign up for their Corporate Membership which is geared towards priority support?

    I have never had any problems with their support and I have found their support actually faster then much more expensive providers.
