Well I have a new hosting account. I love these guys, because they have everything I need, and give me everything I need, but at the cost of I must configure it myself. I am trying to create a subdomain, and they use raw zone access for dns administration. I have no idea how to configure the zone file. It looks like this:
$TTL 3600
@ IN SOA ns1.vectori.net. hostmaster.vectori.net. (
2003072600 ; serial
3H ; Refresh after 3 hours
30M ; Retry after 1 hour
3W ; Expire after 1 week
15M ) ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour
$include /etc/namedb/tmp/ns.tmp
$include /etc/namedb/tmp/mx.tmp
www 43200 IN CNAME luna.vectori.net.
@ 43200 IN A 64.105.196.221
My domain is btodd.net, but I don't even see it here. All I am trying to do is create a subdomain.
On the name servers listed, ns1 is probably the master and the others are slaves. The master server needs to have an entry in it delegating the SOA for btodd.net to whatever server you are loading DNS on (or is it actually on the same server, ns1.vectori.net?).
And you are not creating a subdomain, but setting up a domain (btodd.net would only be a subdomain if it were btodd.vectori.net). A name server can serve different domain names, not just it's own.
Please post what version of Bind, if you are setting up your domain on the master DNS for vectori.net or on another server, and any other pertinent info.
