[ILUG] DNS

[David Jamison]

Hi ,

Im trying to setup DNS using the graphicial redhat-config-bind uti

1. Forward Master Zone

domain name = home.com

Primary Nameserver (SOA)  should read @ but is blank and wont accept @  
so Ive put dell.home.com. which is the FQDN

Add record into which goes the host name (toshiba) and the ip addr 
(192.168.0.100)  This appears under home.com as toshiba -> 192.168.0.100

2. Reverse Master Zone

1st three octets 192.168.0  again the Primary Nameserver (SOA) is blank 
and wont accept @ so in there I put dell.home.com.  this appears as 
.00.168.192.in-addr.arpa with dell.home.com. served by home.com beneath it

3. Nameserver panel

Domain name = home.com   Primary Nameserver (SOA) = dell.home.com.

This configuration will not sae there is an error message Zone 
'home.com' must list at least one nameserver recod.  Use the "add 
record" button to add a name server which when I click on it shows 
Domain name = home.com and served by dell.home.com. which is what I 
would have expected.

I know there is the issue of the @ being missing and also the trailing 
"." might be an issue in places but I think ive recorded above when and 
when I ve put it in.

Any suggestions as to what im doing wrong?

Regards
