im trying to "fix" dialtoneinternet's default DNS setup to add PTR records
so i can use Qmail. but in the process, i have broke something :\
when i type `nslookup www.underthemain.net' (my domain, but not the servers)
[sweede at ns named]$ nslookup www.underthemain.net
Server: ns.harborbaydesigns.com
Address: 64.65.0.141
*** ns.harborbaydesigns.com can't find www.underthemain.net: Server failed
in my syslog i get this.
named[4984]: ns_req: no address for root server
i've seach high and low and cant find a reason to why this would happen.
my /etc/hosts file,
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
64.65.1.141 ns.harborbaydesigns.com ns
my /etc/resolv.conf
search harborbaydesigns.com
nameserver 64.65.0.141
nameserver 64.65.1.141
my /etc/named.boot file has
;
; a caching only nameserver config
;
directory /var/named
cache . named.ca
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa named.local
my /etc/named.conf file has
options {
directory "/var/named";
forward only;
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
.....
the rest of the file is hosted virtual domains.
and my /var/named/named.ca file contains the same file found at
rs.internic.net/domain/named.root
the 64.65.0.rev file is
@ IN SOA ns.harborbaydesigns.com.
hostmaster.ns.harborbaydesigns.com. (
2000060407 ; serial
3600 ; refresh
900 ; retry
1209600 ; expire
43200 ; default_ttl
)
@ IN NS ns.harborbaydesigns.com.
141 IN PTR ns.harborbaydesigns.com.
and last but not least, the harborbaydesigns.com file
;authoritative data for harborbaydesigns.com
harborbaydesigns.com. IN SOA ns.harborbaydesigns.com.
root.ns.harborbaydesigns.com. (
2000060419 ; serial

)
ns2 IN A 64.65.1.141
ftp IN CNAME harborbaydesigns.com.
mail IN CNAME harborbaydesigns.com.
www IN CNAME harborbaydesigns.com.
*.harborbaydesigns.com IN A harborbaydesigns.com.
@ IN MX 5 mail.harborbaydesigns.com.
@ IN NS ns.harborbaydesigns.com.
@ IN NS ns2.harborbaydesigns.com.
@ IN A 64.65.0.141
ns IN A 64.65.0.141
i've been using Linuxconf to try and fix the problem, but i cannot seem to
correct it.
thanks for your help!
