I just used “http://www.intodns.com/” to test my DNS setting. What is this below problem? How to solve it? Different autonomous systems WARNING: Single point of failure and Different subnets WARNING: Not all of your nameservers are in different subnets The subnet error just means you’re putting all your eggs in one basket! There’s an RFC, if my memory serves, that asks for two different physical locations (or at least subnets) for the Name Servers under [...]

looking for advice on my new VPS I have set up with help from a friend. Everything seems to be working well and pages load quickly after the first page load, the first page load takes up to ten seconds even for simple text based websites. I presume this is a DNS based issue, (or could it be related to Apache?), as the IP is being resolved, could anyone explain if I am correct and [...]

I currently have some internet problems – ONLY from my domain-Server (W2K3) – I have a sepeprate question for it, but I might get it resolved (I think) If I remove the DNS Role for my server. *The other question So what I am asking is: What will happen to my intranet if I remove my Domain Controller DNS Role? How do I tell my clients that their new DNS is the ISP/Google DNS? Thanks [...]

We have a wildcard set up to handle all subdomains for “example.com” A RECORD: *.example.com points to 10.10.10.10 We have a more specific A record to handle a special subdomain (this works fine): A Record: staging.example.com points 10.10.10.9 The problem we’re having is we’re migrating staging to a new hosting environment and we’ve been instructed to use a CNAME: CNAME: new-staging.example.com points to proxy.heroku.com We thought this would work. However, new-staging.example.com resolves to the top-level [...]

So, I just bought a brand new domain. I set up my dns records with the host (godaddy) but something strange happens on my server. I’ve added this to the httpd.conf file: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.newdomainname.tld DocumentRoot /usr/share/roundcube/ </VirtualHost> But somehow I’m redirected to the root of my server. Then I tried adding this under the entry for the new domain name: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName shop.olddomainname.tld DocumentRoot /usr/share/roundcube/ </VirtualHost> And it worked without any problems.

I have set up my bind server but am unable to perform reverse look up the nslookup. The config file looks like this. acl “internal” {192.168.5.0/24;};view “internal” { match-clients {“internal”;}; recursion yes; zone “home” { type master; file “master/home.db”; }; zone “sludge.home” { type master; file “master/sludge.home.db”; }; zone “192.168.5.in-addr.arpa” { type master; file “master/192.168.5.db”; }; zone “255.in-addr.arpa” { type master; file “master/255.db”; }; zone “0.in-addr.arpa” { type master; file “master/0.db”; }; zone “.” { [...]

I just signed up with Knownhost using their VPS. I have never used the WHM before, and it is confusing me a little. From what I understand the WHM is used to manage multiple domains on a single server (vps). I only need one domain for the entire server, so I setup one user “oranges” with the domain oranges.com (ok so thats not the real domain . When I purchased the VPS, I had to [...]

Say I’ve operating ns1.example.org and ns2.example.org on which I want to host the zone file for example.com When I go to my registrar and purchase example.com , I will tell my registrar that my nameservers are ns1.example.org and ns2.example.org My question then is, why do I then also need to specify those nameservers in the zone file for example.com ? Haven’t I already told the .com nameservers where to lookup information on example.com , making [...]

UPDATE 2: Our website is created on RedHat Linux. We are using Apache as the web server software. Basically, we have our website on a LAMP configuration. We use rackspace managed hosting, but they do not manage our dns records. Our DNS records are managed by verizon, for which I have access too also. UPDATE 1: How do I create a sub-domain for our existing domain? If our existing domain was companyname.com, we would want [...]
