Hi there, I have a potentially BIND related problem and I'm positively stuck. I've posted this question on Server Fault (http://serverfault.com/questions/306997/cant-seem-to-resolve-domain-but-can-dig-it) with little exposure. The jist of it is: My name server (24.222.7.12) refuses to resolv

RE: One IP in multiple zones

2011-09-21 Thread Lightner, Jeff
One thing we do is create a single "alias" zone with generic information in it to have multiple zones all go to the same IP. Typically the main zone we'll put in its own zone file and have named.conf associate that zone with that zone file. For other zones we tell named.conf to point to the ali

I think it is safe to say the issue is the iis.se site is broken so far as delegation test goes. Another user reported to me that he had several domains return the same thing at this site. Thanks everyone for the replies. -Original Message- From: bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water
