Hi to all list users, This is my first time here and I'm quite a newbie to djbdns & vegadns. My questions are to do with name servers setup when using vegadns, I have built this server for a school to use in there internal network (dns server will not be queried from the internet).
My djbdns setup is tiny is on my eth0 10.0.0.1, ext_dnscache is on 10.0.0.2. I will set all the PC's on the network to query ext_dnscache 10.0.0.2 to resolve internal domain names. This is working, when I create a new domain you must enter a primary nameserver which can be a domain name or an IP, as I understand this I would enter tinydns IP in there (10.0.0.1), is this correct? Now when I now create the rest of the zone stuff mail.mydomain.tst etc I must create a NS record here, you can not enter the IP of the NS (tinydns IP same as the one in the primary names server). Should I create a domain name for tinydns IP 10.0.0.1 so I can enter that domain name into the NS record im mydomain.tst? I assume if this is the case and I copy the cdb file to a slave machine, I would need to add another NS record to and a domain name pointing to the IP of tiny on the slave machine? As you can see I'm a bit of a novice and any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope this makes sense Many Thanks Paul
