Re: [PLUG] General DNS Question Bind

A couple of others, keep in mind this is Apple OSX still Bind though. 

Does this look right for a localhost.zone file?

$TTL    86400
$ORIGIN localhost.
@            1D IN SOA    @ root (
                    42        ; serial (d. adams)
                    3H        ; refresh
                    15M        ; retry
                    1W        ; expiry
                    1D )        ; minimum

            1D IN NS    @
            1D IN A        127.0.0.1

The reason I'm asking is nslookup results for localhost don't seem right to me?

[macserver:~] root# nslookup localhost
Server:         192.168.1.102
Address:        192.168.1.102#53

Name:   localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

[macserver:~] root# nslookup 127.0.0.1
Server:         192.168.1.102
Address:        192.168.1.102#53

** server can't find 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN

Shouldn't I get back localhost? I get expected results on Suse. Everything is working. I think I mite have performed a changeip booboo. with Node /127.0.0.1

Subject: [PLUG] General DNS Question Bind

Ok, finally got everything straight. All the time I was missing a period:

v-system.net  IN  MX 0 mail.v-system.net.

when I should have had

v-system.net. IN MX 0 mail.v-system.net.   

Hopefully my PTR records are straight, if you see this message then I guess so.

By the way thanks for the Certs info JP, will be checking into that. If you responded to any of my posts please forward them to me as I wasn't getting mail from about mid day Saturday to just about a few minutes ago. I'm actually pretty excited, haven't been for awhile regarding computers. Having PTR records gives you the ability to play with a lot more stuff correctly instead of back dooring it.

Now for my question.

Right now my Network Solution registered domain name is point to:

adns.cs.siteprotect.com
bdns.cs.siteprotect.com

I would like to add, at least initially macserver.v-system.net as a slave to those? Do I also have to point to that server even though it will be a slave. I had it before and Bind complained about SOA but then again everything really wasn't straight.
