<0> i have a domain that is currently hosted by a friend of mine, but that i would like to host myself. at the moment, the domain points to his DNS servers. however, since i would like to host it myself, but would rather avoid having to set up DNS servers simply to host email at home, i've been talking to my ISP about them pointing this domain to my home IP.
<0> now, i'm not sure if they are being tards or if i am, but they claim to be unable to do this, and that only my registar can. the latter is clearly false, but i was unable to convince the techie i talked with otherwise.
<0> they did however say that they could set up a reverse lookup, pointing my IP to my domain. i'm not experienced when it comes to DNS servers, so i'm not sure what that entails.
<0> can anyone help me out here?
<1> just edit the zones in your friends dns to point to your ip
<2> [root@Mrtg named]# /etc/init.d/named restart
<2> Stopping named: rndc: connect failed: connection refused
<2> [FAILED]
<2> Starting named: [ OK ]
<2> thats what happens
<2> any suggestions?
<1> I thought the error message might be a clue
<0> archivist: so it is the guys at my ISP being ****s? i'm not being stupid here?
<1> simply put registrar points to some dns you specify, then that points to your IP
<1> so registrar controls which dns is used as your isp is telling you
<0> archivist: well, sure. i know that. what i want my ISP to do is configure their DNS servers to point that domain to my IP.
<1> well tell the registrar to point to the isp dns first
<0> before i have them configure their DNS?
<0> why?
<0> archivist?
<1> or the isp first
<0> so it's not me being stupid, then? it's them?
<0> or at least feigning ignorance.
<0> 'cause, obviously, some work needs to be done on their part. or by whomever controls the DNS servers you want to use.
<0> right, archivist?
<1> well do thay allow you to use their dns
<0> seems not. the first techie i talked to was obviously clueless. he had no idea what DNS was at all. the second one understood, and said he'd get it fixed right away. then i get an email saying that this needs to be done by my register. which is untrue. and finally i talk to a guy who admits that they only set up reverse lookups for their customers.
<0> archivist: pity is that this used to be a very good, fairly small, ISP. seems like they've grown too big and lost whatever connection they had with their customers.
<0> they're just another corporation now
<3> you might consider phrasingit differently ... you do not want them to point a domain to your ip, you want them to change the name returned for your ip.
<4> !dns cs.fastinternet.ro
<3> moo.
<4> hello can somebody make me /dns cs.fastinternet.ro ?
<4> and show me the ip
<3> can't you see it yourself?
<4> i try on http://www.dnsstuff.com and is going to an ip adress
<4> and mirc to other ip adress
<4> twkm can you tell me please ?
<4> just type: /dns cs.fastinternet.ro
<4> look in status and copy here the ip adress
<4> please
<3> i don't have a /dns command, nor a "status".
<3> 89.34.0.1
<4> ok thanks :))
<3> fyi, that was an: /exec -o dig +short fs.fastinternet.ro
<5> this is somewhat (ok, very) OS specific, but is there any way to override name/address lookups for shared resources under Windows Server 2003? hosts does not work, because for filesharing resources, it gets looked at last, and lmhosts.sam does not seem to work either, even with a #PRE statement. Essentially, I want a specific hostname (data) to map to localhost, no matter what the DNS servers say...
<6> 195.178.110.1
<3> lmhosts.sam is the sample file. the real file should be named just lmhosts, no extension.
<5> twkm, still does not work, of course - seems to be an issue with mapping it to itself
