<0> hi. my boss bought a domain several years ago. he asked a friend to host the bind server for him. now, he wants setup his own bind server in the office but forgot where he bought the domain name. how can we redirect the ns addresses to our own servers?
<1> look up the whois record for the domain, and talk to the registrar of record.
<0> ok ill try that. thanks
<0> i cant see any registrar entries on the whois record. all i see is registrant, administrative, billing, technical, and dns
<1> what is the domain?
<0> www.mgbsi.com
<0> -www
<1> Registrar: INNERWISE, INC. D/B/A ITSYOURDOMAIN.COM
<1> Referral URL: http://www.itsyourdomain.com
<0> how did you find it out. i did see that whois.itsyourdomain.com is queried for the record.
<1> just used whois
<0> ok
<0> thanks
<1> sure
<0> hi. what's the cheapest domain-name selling registrar on the planet?
<1> godaddy is pretty cheap.
<1> gandi was cheap at one point. haven't looked in a while. i'm sure there are others too.
<0> yeah i also thought godaddy is the most reliable among all the cheapos. thanks.
<2> can you please tell me how to make a reverse DNS
<2> ?
<3> make a zone file with ptr records.
<3> for ipv4 the owner is the ip address on octet boundaries, reversed, to which .in-addr.arpa is appended.
<3> for ipv6 the owner is the ip address on nibble boundaries, reversed, to which .ip6.arpa is appended.
<2> i want to make a reverse dns for the folowing ip
<2> 64.18.146.203 - powered.by.epesium.com
<3> do you run ns[12].digitalshell.net?
<2> yes
<3> justedge is delegating to your server. you don't have the 146.18.64.in-addr.arpa zone configured.
<3> your server response servfail. so check your nameserver logs.
<2> server response servfail.
<2> i don't know what you mean
<2> ?
<3> sigh.
<3> *YOUR* server responds to a query with a statuc of servfail. that means it is broken. so check your nameserver logs.
<4> fix your DNS server
<2> fixed
<2> thanks
<2> can you help me with this error please
<2> error ? Sorry, I couldn't find a mail exchanger or IP address. (#5.4.4)
<2> checked mx records and they look ok http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=tucuman.com&type=MX
<2> what could it be ?
<5> what is returning that error?
<2> lunaphyte_, http://pastebin.ca/168866
<5> can you resolve addresses from the machine qmail is running on? even better, from the machine and as the user qmail runs as?
<2> nop
<2> ping yahoo.com
<2> PING yahoo.com (216.109.112.135) 56(84) bytes of data.
<2> 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3005ms
<2> telnet yahoo.com 25
<2> telnet: yahoo.com: Name or service not known
<2> yahoo.com: No address ***ociated with name
<5> it would seem that ping can resolve addresses, but telnet cannot. by the way, you would want to telnet to port 25 on yahoo.com's mx host, not directly to yahoo.com.
<6> interessting problem. which platform?
<5> sort of sounds like a hosts/nsswitch related problem.
<7> what would cause a dns server to not look up a name
<7> I can nslookup mail.sellingblock.com and sellingblock.com but not smtp.sellingblock.com on our dns server.
<3> no connectivity. not running.
<7> its just a dns server not pointing to any internal servers
<3> *shrug*
<7> its just used for boxes to find outbound dns
<7> its weird
<3> i see that it is a cname. some mail servers won't like it if that name is used in an mx record.
<7> well if I use a external dns server like 4.2.2.2 nslookup of smtp.sellingblock.com works fine
<7> its just not working on the internal dns
<7> server
<7> I have read the docs and am left scratching my head
<3> *shrug*
<7> root@sellingblock etc]$ nslookup smtp.sellingblock.com
<7> Server: 10.0.1.93
<7> Address: 10.0.1.93#53
<7> ** server can't find smtp.sellingblock.com: NXDOMAIN
<7> yet
<3> the ghods are cruel.
<3> probably 10.0.1.93 is miscnfigured.
<7> root@sellingblock etc]$ nslookup smtp.sellingblock.com
<7> Server: 4.2.2.2
<7> Address: 4.2.2.2#53
<7> Non-authoritative answer:
<7> smtp.sellingblock.com canonical name = smtp.secureserver.net.
<7> Name: smtp.secureserver.net
<7> Address: 64.202.166.12
<7> ok
<7> hmm time to go back over it again
<7> mann I hate cleaning up other peoples messes
<7> and suse linux is a pain
<3> uh-huh. i'm sure some other arrangement is much better.
<7> I am a bsd person and linux is a pain
