DNS / Bind - Easiest Method To Redirect A Domain To Another


I've got two domains (for sake of example, domain A and domain B). Domain A resolves correctly to my web server. Domain B is just sitting collecting dust. I didn't set these domains up, a previous programmer at my job did.

How do I configure resolv.conf, named.conf and the zone file(s) correctly to have domain B redirect to domain A?

I've already set up httpd.conf so that any requests for the host name of domain A will redirect.

e.g. [url]
I just need the DNS part of this fixed (that I'm a bit of a noob at).

Do I have to do something like this in named.conf:

Code:
zone "domaina.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/domaina.com.hosts";
};

zone "domainb.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/domaina.com.hosts";
};
Then in the domaina.com.hosts zone file add an alias like this?

Code:
domainb.com. IN CNAME domaina.com.

Or do I need to create a domainb.com.hosts zone file with basic info emulating domaina.com.hosts zone file, and add its entry in named.conf?

Cheapest/Easiest Method Of Offering VPS Accounts On A Windows Server
After some experimenting with Linux VPS setups, I'm eager to explore windows VPS software.

Two questions I guess, first off, what is the cheapest method of offering multiple VPS accounts on a windows server? Are there any free or build in Microsoft methods?

Second, what is the easiest way of doing so? (Simple setup, as hands off as possible)

I realize the cheapest may not be the easiest and vice versa. I'm downloading Parrallels Virtuozzo trial right now, but would like to learn what else is out there.

Have I Got BIND Domain Name Server (DNS) Right?
Ive been learning alot about BIND and DNS, id like someone to check over what ive learn't to make sure my knowledge is correct.

A Zone:

A zone is basically 'similar' to a sub-domain but the domain google.com would not be a sub-domain, so a zone is not a sub-domain. In the domain google.com 'google' would be a deligated zone from the TLD 'com'. In another example: ny.google.com , 'ny' would be a zone for google's 'new york' department, if they had one.

Hosts:

The host name is usually the most left word in a domain or you can look at it as the leaves on an inverted tree in the DNS System. Examples:

www.google.com = 'www' would be the host
mail.sitepoint.com = 'mail' would be the host
ny.google.com = 'ny' would NOT be a host because its a 'zone' and does not offer a 'service' like ftp, mail, www ect. would. Unless 'ny' was intended to be a service then it would be a host, but it would have to become a leaf in the inverted tree, so you wouldn't ba able to create any zones from it like 'mail.ny.google.com' ... if that makes sense.

Nameservers:

If i used BIND on my server to manage my Zones and DNS information (which is pretty much standard), that would be my Nameserver. Its job would be to convert human recognizable names into computer recognizable names/numbers/ip.

My nameserver would only have authority over zones that are not deligated. So an example, 'com' deligate 'mydomainname' to me (mydomainname.com) they have no authority over that zone. So if i set up a nameserver on mydomain.com they have no authority over mydomainname or any zone under that.

Domain Namespace

The Domain Namespace was setup to replace the method used by ARPA (later DARPA) in the 60's in an effort to create a database of hosts that were easy to administer and reduced the time and server load on the old skool HOSTS.TXT method.

A domain namespace is a way to identify the different domains. Im not to good at explaining what i mean but basically ill illustrate this example:

google.com and google.net both have the same names, so the namespace in this example would the the TLD's 'net' and 'com' to seperate them.

Go a bit deeper for example:

cd.music.com and cd.disk.com , both have the same TLD and sub-domain's so the namespace here is the first-level domain 'music' and 'disk'.

Sub-Domains
Sub-Domains are similar to zones, in a way. A domain name: 'google.com' might have the sub-domain 'video.google.com' which links to the video section of google. 'video' is not a deligated zone from 'google' neither is it a host as such, so its a sub-domain.

Im probably slightly confused on some parts, and im open for comments. I dont fully understand alot of it, but what ive learnt so far took a good day to get my head around. If anythings wrong, id like to know.

Open Domain Name Server (DNS) - BIND
Just being doing a load of DNSstuff.com queries to try and get everything to "pass", I noticed that some big players in the hosting scene have either open or closed DNS servers.

Softlayer.com have closed, while liquidweb.com are open...?

I have changed all mine to closed, just because dnsstuff advises it, but is there any reason you would want them open..?

DNS And BIND 9
i work in a new ISP company, and ive been assigned to the DNS server, and before this i have never even heard of BIND, but now im in need of learning it ....and im only fairly familiar to Linux..so here are me questions:

1. where can i find a beginners guide to DNS and BIND?

2. what distribution is best suited for the server?

3. are there any default templates for the BIND config files that one could start with and modify?

4. how many files are there? i mean every time a read a bit about BIND pops up a new file name.. so how many files are enough?

5. would any1 care to help me out step by step throught my ordeal?

6. are there any training courses that i could take? are there any onlline ones? or videos that i could grab off the net?

7. how many times does a swallow have to flap its wings to maintain airspeed velocity in order to carry a coconut?

Bind 2 DNS Name To Same IP
if it is possible to bind 2 NS to the same IP

For example, I previously had n1.abc.com , ns2.abc.com bind to certain IP. Now I registered another domain name, say abcdummy.com at another reseller and was given the option to choose my private dns. But instead of ns1.abcdummy.com and ns2.abcdummy.com, I thought this name doesn't sound that nice to be an NS. So I asked for ns3.abc.com and ns4.abc.com

Which has been registered and propogated successfully. But I want to move these domains on abc.com to abcdummy.com server, as i will not be using my reseller package at abc.com any more

So now, but its a lot work to do if I was to change these domain name NS one by one. So could I instead bind ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com to the same IP as ns3.abc.com and ns4.abc.com

DNS Poisoning - Is Your Bind Up To Date
Vendors form alliance to fix DNS poisoning flaw

An alliance of software makers and network-hardware vendors announced on Tuesday that they had banded together to fix a fundamental flaw in the design of the internet's address system.

The vulnerability in the domain name system (DNS) - the distributed database that matches a host and domain name with the numerical address of a computer server - could give an attacker the ability to replace the addresses of popular websites with that of a malicious server, said Dan Kaminsky, director of penetration testing for security firm IOActive. Kaminsky found the flaw when he was doing non-security research on the domain name system (DNS) more than six months ago.

"It is a fundamental issue affecting the design," Kaminsky said. "Because the system is behaving exactly like it is supposed to behave, the same bug will show up in vendor after vendor after vendor. This one bug affected not just Microsoft ... not just Cisco, but everyone."

On Tuesday, a number of software and network-hardware vendors released patches for their products. On its regularly scheduled patch day, Microsoft released updates for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to mitigate the issue, which the company ranked an important vulnerability, its second highest grade of severity. Internet Software Consortium, the group responsible for the development of the popular Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) server, also released a patch, confirming that its software contained the vulnerability. Both Cisco and Juniper also acknowledged flawed systems.

Vendors have also provided the fix to certain large clients. Yahoo will be upgrading its name servers from BIND 8 to the latest version of BIND 9, the Internet Software Consortium stated during the conference call. Internet service provider Comcast has already patched its servers for the issue, according to internet infrastructure firm Nominum. Finally, the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center has contacted some other nation's response groups to inform them of the problem.

For the most part, however, internet service providers and companies each received the fix on Tuesday, said Sandy Wilbourn, vice president of engineering at Nominum. The goal: To have every major service provider and company apply their software patches in 30 days.

For that reason, don't expect immediate action, Wilbourn said.

"For key customers on our network, we have made a special effort to get them an early release to help solve this problem, and a number of them have finished deployment," he said. "But the nature of this patch is that we wanted to get the vendor side covered and then have deployment over the next 30 days. Anyone that is not patched by today or tomorrow is not doing anything wrong."

The domain-name system (DNS) has been a popular way to attack the internet in the past - it's an ill-kept secret that the DNS system is insecure. The way that many software applications, such as browsers, handle DNS requests has opened up users to attack. Microsoft has fixed a few vulnerabilities in the way Windows handles domain names - issues that could have lead to easier eavesdropping or simpler phishing attacks.

DNS Servers, Moving From BIND To TinyDNS.
I currently have 2 DNS Servers with CPanel-DNSOnly Installed, used with CPanel's DNS Clustering options to store dns entries from CPanel web servers.

I am looking to buy a Windows server(probably with plesk), which i think will not support current CPanel DNSOnly Servers ?

What i need to do is

1. Migrate CPanelDNSOnly(which uses BIND) to TinyDNS on both servers

2. with a simple web-based management of dns entries(to give control to my clients, like DomainDNS.com)

3. and auto updating of DNS Entires from other CPanel and Windows servers, without conflicting same domain records from different servers (which i think can be solved by updating entires by Latest Modified date/time).

I am not an expert, and not really sure if i will be able to setup everything myself. here i need your help, guidence, and links to tutorials and help... From where should I start? What and How should I do? Should I consider hiring a System admin? any sugestions or reference for such admins?

Redirect Domain To Www
The thing is that we have a dedicated server at our company hosting several domains, and right now you can access them both with the www prefix or without it, but there is no redirection in case you access without it, and this has negative impact with SEO related stuff.

I have the rewrite apache module enabled (I tested with a script I found on the net), and I also tried a test configuring a single domain including some code about redirection.

Right now I'm getting a nice "500 Internal Server Error"

This is the code in .htaccess

Code:
Option +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [url]
(mydomain.com is, obviously, a replacement for the real domain in both cases)

How Do I Redirect Visitors, Who Type In My IP Address, To My Domain
I have what seems to be a simple redirect question. I have a dedicated server and a few static IP addresses, but I want to make it so if someone were to type in my IP address in their browser, Apache will redirect them to the domain name. (Typing in [url]

What happens now is that if you were to type in my server's IP address, it will show you the FIRST VirtualHost container that's listed in httpd.conf. This is not so bad since I've placed my main company site at the start of the list, but I'd rather redirect the IP into the domain name I use.

I read somewhere that you can place Mod RewriteRules directly in the VirtualHost container rather than using .htaccess, but the few "rules" that I tried didn't seem to do anything. And yes, I restarted Apache each time I edited httpd.conf.

Is there an easy way to do this?

ALSO, is there a way to redirect the name server address too? If you type in [url]into the browser, it acts the same way. I would ultimately like to redirect both the nameservers and the IP address(es) to the domain name.

Are Patched Domain Name Server (DNS) Behind N.A.T. Still Vunlerable To DNS Cache Poisoning?
Upon reading http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08...sky_black_hat/ it appears those who use network address translation may be vulnerable to DNS cache poisoning even after patching their DNS servers.

"another 15 per cent are still vulnerable to some extent because they use network address translation gear that prevents the patch from working."

Thoughts?

Host Will Only Update Domain Name Server (DNS) In Batches, Takes Several Hours For A DNS Change, Normal?
Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal?
Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know.

I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours.

I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly?

He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting.

Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone?

And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?

Reverse Domain Name Server (DNS) ARPA For Domain On VPS
I have a vps with dedicated ip's for my domain names.

I read that in order for mails coming from my server not be picked up as spam, i need to add reverse ip entries.

Now i have already added the glue nameserver records on my godaddy control panel,

ns1.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.40
ns2.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.41

But do i need to speak to the datacenter to add the reverse dns entries for my domain on their nameservers? What about if i host my nameservers offsite, but then have my webserver/mailserver etc inside the datacenter? Would i need to request the datacenter where the nameservers are hosted to add the reverse ip entries for the domain, and then the request the same from the datacenter for my web/mail servers to add the reverse entries?

Is it really required?

Domain Parking - Wildcard Domain Name Server (DNS)?
We have a lot of unused domains that we'd like to setup domain parking for.

To keep it simple, we'd like to just change the namesevers to ns1.domainparking.com and ns2.domainparking.com (not real nameservers!) and the domains would then automatically show a simple web page.

We use cpanel servers and are wondering how easy this is to do? I've seem mention of wildcard dns? Is that the answer?

Domain Parking With Win2k3 Domain Name Server (DNS)?
i have about 8 different domains i'd like to point to a nameserver (ns1./ns2.mydomain.com) on Win2k3 server, but i can't get them resolved through my nameserver without creating a manual forward lookup entry for each *parked* domain separatly..

Does anyone know how to resolve "parked" domains automatically on Win2k3 DNS??

I just can't find any answer for this, everything i've found required manual creation of lookup entries..

anyone?

Domain Does Not Resolve :: Domain Name Server (DNS) Issues
I've been having some DNS problems with one of my domains for quite some time now. The domain does not always resolve - some go days without being able to access the site.

I ran a simple BASH script to show what I mean. I replaced my domain with "mysite.net" and the IP with "xx.xx.xxx.xxx".

# for i in `seq 1 15`; do host mysite.net; done

mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I have gone over the DNS records countless times and see no problems. The site is hosted on my own dedicated server.

Redirect Domain/user To User.domain ONLY IF Folder 'user' Doesn't Exist
I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)

If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com

DNS And Domain- Setting Up DNS With DirectAdmin
I've got DirectAdmin installed, and my domain name (misacampo.org) hosted with XeoDomains.com.

I'm wondering how I set up my DNS so that whenever I point more domains to my VPS their DNS will be set to ns1.misacampo.com and ns2.misacampo.com.


Would it be as simple as pointing my domain to my VPS IP, then setting up this in DirectAdmin?:

Add Zone
Domain Name:
IP Address:
Name Server 1:
Name Server 2:

Would I enter:
Add Zone
Domain Name: misacampo.org
IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Name Server 1: ns1.misacampo.org
Name Server 2: ns1.misacampo.org


Then point my domain to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and set it up my domain at XeoDomains.com like so:

Add New Child Name Server
Host Name: ns1.misacampo.org
Ip Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

and

Add New Child Name Server
Host Name: ns2..misacampo.org
Ip Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Would this work? I'm looking to do a quick shift from my old CPS (LXAdmin) to my new VPS (DirectAdmin) with at little downtime as possible. Do I need to set up any other records for the domain for my email accounts to work, or would DirectAdmin take care of all this?

DNS "dead" Although Bind Is Running
New server running Fedora 8 with CPanel.

Allocated 2 IPs for NS1 and NS2. Registered the nameservers with the Registrar. These resolve but any domain using the nameservers (including the server's domain) does not resolve.

Bind is running, according to WHM/Sevices.

Using checkdns.net it finds the NS records but it can't fetch SOA from them ("Connection reset. Probably DNS server is offline.")

I didn't have similar problems before with RedHat/CPanel on a different host.

How To Easiest Do Backup And Transfer Of Mysql Files
I have following problem-i have over 20 sites on server and each site has own database.Is there a way to speed up backup and transfer or other server?

Method which i use right now it's following:first i archive entire directory using command tar -pczf name.tar.gz public_html,and then repeat with each directory.But i think i could simply archive all requied directories,but that will took toomuch time,so if i drop connection during archiving it wont be archived at all then.So i think best solution will be to create some kind of batch command which can load in background,so that means command wont stop if client lost connection.

So let's say i have 2 sites and two directories located and different places.

One is at home/site1 and other at home/site2
So i think i would need to put command into batch file
tar -pczf site.tar.gz. /home/site1 and tar -pczf site2.tar.gz /home/site2

Will that work? Also second part,mysql databases,i founded if i login into phpmyadmin as root i can see all databases.I managed to export all databases,but question will import again to phpmyadmin work.I think phpmyadmin create command for each database "if there is no db sitename_mysqlbase,create it",but howmuch i know phpmyadmin have limit with importing size of mysql database.Could that be done with import/export mysql command?

Easiest Automation Of VPS Solutions For Hosting Provider?
I'm doing some research on offering VPS hosting solutions, nothing firm yet as do we start to offer them or not.

So, what are you experiences for as automated as possible VPS hosting offering? Using multiple servers as VPS hosts etc. ready made images etc.

Or am i better of by doing custom tailored my own?

The basic plan is to offer as automated as possible, with minimal support overhead etc. using 2co/paypal/moneybookers subscriptions etc. basicly as simple, and yet as powerfull as possible. Sounds like custom tailored system is the best option.

How about just the server backend only automation wise?

1 Out Of 2 Domain Name Server (DNS) Is Down
There are few clients complaining site inaccessible but it could be accessible from other location.

Does this mean that the client's is resolving to the down DNS server? Any fix on this to force the client to resolve to the main DNS server?

While Setup DNS For 1 Domain.de
One of our customers need to use a domain.de (.de ext), he registered the domain using godaddy, and godaddy have a few very special requirements for .de domains:

• The first 3 bits of the IP address (C-class) is different for each name server.
• A glue record is necessary for the domain on the name servers.
• The SOA (Start of Authority) must be within the following guidelines:

refresh : 10000 - 86400
retry: 1800 -28800
expire: 604800 - 3600000
ttl: 180 - 345600

This is all done, 2 different C class IPs for each name servers, glue record, and SOA has been configured between specified values. Because of the 2 C class, we created DNS at server1, and pointed all www traffic to server2 (where the domain.de will be hosted)

This is the DNS zone at server1 (an Ensim server):

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 3600 ; 1 hour
sitename.de IN SOA nameserver1.server.com. support@hostingcompany.com. (
2008010804 ; serial
10000 ; refresh (1 hour)
1800 ; retry (10 minutes)
604800 ; expire (2 weeks)
345600 ; minimum (1 hour)
)
NS nameserver1.server.com.
NS nameserver2.server2.com.
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
A XX.XX.XX.XX
$ORIGIN sitename.de.
ftp A XX.XX.XX.XX
www A XX.XX.XX.XX

This is the DNS zone at server2 (an cPanel server):

; Modified by Web Host Manager
; Zone File for sitename.de
$TTL 3600
@ 86400 IN SOA nameserver2.server2.com. support@hostingcompany.com. (
2008010804
10000
1800
604800
345600
)

sitename.de. 86400 IN NS nameserver2.server2.com.
sitename.de. 86400 IN NS nameserver3.server2.com.

sitename.de. 14400 IN A XX.XX.XX.XX

localhost.sitename.de. 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1

sitename.de. 14400 IN MX 0 sitename.de.

mail 14400 IN CNAME sitename.de.
www 14400 IN A sitename.de.
ftp 14400 IN A XX.XX.XX.XX
While checking the domain at [url], an error appears:

Zone sitename.de.
Primary nameserver1.server.com. IP_ADDRESS_HERE
Secondary nameserver2.server2.com. IP_ADDRESS_HERE

Test results

---- fatal ----
f: [TEST SOA record present]: server failure (IN/SOA: sitename.de.)

* nameserver2.server.com./IP_ADDRESS_HERE

I have verified every single thing at sitename.de.db on both servers at /var/named/, disabled DNS Recursion protection, stopped firewall, and the error continues.

And the error as you can see only happens with SOA at second server.
