First off, remember that from J. Random 'net host, 127.0.0.1 is not the IP address of your primary nameserver... Typically the NS RRs in the domain zone file list the canonical names of all of the nameservers for your domain, both master and slave. Order is not important. For the 'master NS' part of the SOA, it should be the canonical FQDN for the master host for the domain. The A records for your NS hosts should point to their publically accessible IP addresses. No 127.0.0.1, no RFC1918 addresses, and if their multi-homed, then it should be the IP address of the 'outward' facing interface. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer, Geek In Residence http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
