It is possible thanks to GLUE records. You must define your ns as a glue
record in your registrar config.

hostmaster.livingwaters-international.org.

Or whatever your e-mail address is ;-)

It is very well explained in the link you sent:

"Two things must be noted about the SOA record. ns.linux.bogus must be a 
actual machine with a A record. It is not legal to have a CNAME record 
for the machine mentioned in the SOA record. Its name need not be `ns', 
it could be any legal host name. Next, hostmaster.linux.bogus should be 
read as hostmas...@linux.bogus. This should be a mail alias, or a 
mailbox, where the person(s) maintaining DNS should read mail frequently. 
Any mail regarding the domain will be sent to the address listed here. 
The name need not be `hostmaster', it can be your normal e-mail address, 
but the e-mail address `hostmaster' is often expected to work as well."

Thank you so much for the reply so that means in the howto

http://langfeldt.net/DNS-HOWTO/BIND-9/DNS-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.2

$TTL 3D
@   IN  SOA ns.linux.bogus. hostmaster.linux.bogus. (

in place of "ns.linux.bogus." i put "ns1.livingwaters-
international.org."

so what do I put in place of "hostmaster.linux.bogus." ?

thanks

AFAIK, in your domain name settings, you can use the FQDN or the IP as 
nameserver.

In your bind9 configuration file you have to point "ns1.livingwaters-
international.org" to your IP address. 

I would suggest the use of a secondary DNS server from another company, 
just in case yours goes off-line.

making the web server also a dns server

2010-09-09 Thread Siju George
Hi,

I have registered a domain "livingwaters-international.org".
 The website is currently running in google pages.

I would like to know how I can change the website as well as the DNS
server to a dedicated server I have.

If I configure Bind9 as the DNS server I can configure the nameserver as

ns1.livingwaters-international.org

So when I configure the name server for
"livingwaters-international.org" should I configure the IP address
instead of "ns1.livingwaters-international.org" ?

I mean if the NS record is configured on the nameserver itself how
will the IP of the NS record be resolved before contacting the name
server?

thanks :-)
