cannot resolve DNS server's own domain name
- by sims
I have a DNS server (mega.dude - 123.123.123.123) running bind 9.4. When I:
dig mega.dude
I get no answer section.
I have
nameserver 123.123.123.123
in /etc/resolv.conf
Here is my zone file:
$TTL 1W
@ IN SOA mega.dude. names.mega.dude. (
2009081502 ; serial
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum
NS ns1
NS ns2
MX 10 mail.mega.dude.
A 123.123.123.123
@ A 123.123.123.123
ns1 A 123.123.123.123
ns2 A 123.123.123.123
www CNAME @
mail A 123.123.123.123
It didn't used to look like this. I read that it's evil to have an mx record pointing to a CNAME. So I changed that. Then I thought maybe that was also the case for NS. So I changed those too. Still no good. The ports are open. I can't figure it out. Oh by the way, all the other zones return fine. But not the servers own domain. So I know I'm doing something stupid.
Thanks for your help all!
