Single machine VPS

[Lightner, Jeff]

Create an entry for just the domain and be sure to add a dot to the end so it doesn't append the domain name:

nicaragon.com.  IN A 46.105.24.194
www     IN A 46.105.24.194

Without the dot the domain is appended so that nicargon.com without a dot would actually be seen as nicaragon.com.nicaragon.com.   With the dot it is seen simply as nicaragon.com.

www in the above is NOT completed with a dot so that it is actually seen as www.nicaragon.com.

Hello,

I'm new to Bind. My previous registrar (or was it the hosting
provider?) was so kind to manage DNS for me. But now I'm required to
configure a DNS server in the very same VPS that hosts the HTTP and
mail server.

I've managed to set it running and (apparently) working after reading
some quick tutorials and a good deal of trial/error. A little issue
persists: I'd like the domain to be reached through HTTP as
"nicoaragon.com", but it only works as "www.nicoaragon.com". The
examples are all about configuration with several machines, so I did
my best to adapt them. But I'm stuck now and a little afraid to touch
and lose what already works.

I'm using bind9 in ubuntu 11.04 server. A forwarder is set in the
options file. The rest of the configuration is like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
named.conf.local:

zone "nicoaragon.com" {
    type master;
    file "/etc/bind/zones/nicoaragon.com.zone";
};

zone "24.105.46.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    notify no;
    file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.24.105.46.in-addr.arpa";
};

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nicoaragon.com.zone:

$TTL 604800

nicoaragon.com. IN SOA www.nicoaragon.com. root.nicoaragon.com. (
