What do you get when you do:


# ping ns1.domain.com.
# ping ns2.domain.com.
# ping test1.domain.com.

or

# dig mydomain.com. soa

or

# dig mydomain.com. ns

from the client machine?

I am wndering if proper access to the domain mydomain.com is in place.

Dear all,

I'm experiencing a problem with my DNS server. I've set up GNUDip on a Linux machine, and updating from the web via a client computer works fine. But, from the client computer, when I PING a certain newly created or newly updated hostname (ie. host1.mydomain.com) via the command prompt, the return is:

"Unknown host host1.mydomain.com."

Attached below is a sample of my zone file for mydomain.com

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400      ; 1 day
mydomain.com           IN SOA  ns1.mydomain.com. root.mydomain.com. (

                               3600       ; refresh (1 hour)
                               1800       ; retry (30 minutes)
                               604800     ; expire (1 week)

$TTL 60 ; 1 minute
host4                A       200.100.10.4


NOTE ON THE ABOVE zone file:


host1, host2, host3, host4 are hostnames I added via the GNUDip web interface with admin user. I dunno why they are in the positions they are in, within the zone file. Nor do I know why there are multiple "$TTL" lines in the zone file. Is this normal or no?

I cannot ping any of host1 to host4.

Any other info should I submit for you to analyze before we can find out why I cannot ping those GNUDip added hostnames?

Best regards

Chris
