I don't want the name provider to manage my records. I want to handle it myself. So I installed bind9 and made some configurations reading some articles and following some examples. bind didn't show any error after I created/edited the required files but;
When I write
`dig www.foo.com, I see the IP of the advertisement page of my name provider.
But when I write
dig -x server_ip_address; I see the name I purchased.
What am I doing wrong?
Can't a server be the nameserver of it's own? Is it a must to configure the records from the company I bought the name from?
By the way, I realised that, my previous question was not clear, I deleted it, and asking the same question in a different way.
