--- begin forwarded msg --- I need your help on DNS. I have a dedicated servers currently hosted at New York. We have around 82 blocks of IP's assign to us and we decide to run a DNS server as well. Our domain is powertrips.org and I have register it at register.com. The problem is I try to setup a DNS server in it (Our server is running on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE) but is seems it cannot answer any query on www.powertrips.org, admin.powertrips.org and other subdomain I configure. Why ? But for DNS1.powertrips.org it works fine. Can you look into this ? Well I cant deny that Im a newbie in DNS thinggie. Attached here is the file configuration that I think you may need to look at if there is any mistake in it. Please advise. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank You.
