How does one bootstrap DNS

2005-05-02 Thread Jim Freeze
Hi I am wondering if the following is possible. Suppose I own two domains: abc.com and xyz.org. I want to host these domains myself and have them provide the primary and secondary name servers for each other. Is this possible? Seems kind of circular. In theory I would have ns1.abc.com to map to

OK, here we go ... I'm going to attempt setting up BIND9 for the first time, and I don't have a lot of experience with DNS. My setup is a LAN behind a router using NAT on an ADSL connection with a dynamic IP on its interface assigned by my ISP. I'm not interested in setting up an authoritative

, it would be better to masquerade as a host in the domain of your ISP or mail service (ie, masquarade as pacbell.net). Also, is there any sort of guide on how to set up DNS in my situation? Yes, use an invalid top-level domain like .local, or maybe .lan. I've read the handbook, and it seems most

ideas already. Did you recently (i.e. last couple of days) change your DNS for that host-IP combo? It might take some nameservers (esp. ones with long cache lifetimes) a bit of time to acquire the new information. I had this problem when I first tried to subscribe to this list. A couple hours
