Domain Name Server (DNS) Redirection / Setting Up Zone(s)
Oct 24, 2007
I have a quick question about some DNS zones I'm trying to set up for a customer. I figured I would try asking the community before bugging our top-level admins (they have enough to do already, and I'd rather learn this myself).
We have a customer for whom we are managing their DNS. The site is actually hosted elsewhere, but the DNS originates on our server.
They have another site that is hosted with us, and they would like to set up a subdomain redirect from the remotely-hosted site to the site hosted on our hardware. So, the situation looks something like this:
example.com : hosted elsewhere (primary IP not ours), DNS with us
FooSite.example.com : redirect this to www.FooSite.com
I could edit httpd.conf, but it would be easiest (for firewall reasons at the moment) if I could enter in the proper zones via WHM zone editor. I'll be able to see the results either way. I tried setting up the 'A' and 'CNAME' records, and I got as far as directing the 'A' records for the subdomain to the local IP, but I'm not sure how to finish it off (assuming I'm going down the right path). My own knowledge level in this regard is somewhere between novice and intermediate (which is why I have partners and admins ).

I have a server in USA which I have leased to a customer. The customer is running an application in the server and for that he needs the timezone to be set IST in the server. If he does the same, then will it affect the working of the server. What can be the ill-effects of the same. The customer is running Windows 2003 server.

I'm a reseller with a few seperate servers. Thus, trying to set up a 2ndry set of NS records. Setup as follow:
main-domain.com : Hosting domain
main-server.com : Main Reseller server, hosting main-domain.com
2nd-server.com : Another reseller server
hosted-domain.com : A domain hosted on my 2nd-server.com
1. Main domain DNS, pointing to main-server.com (On NS.main-server.com).
2. On main server, NS1 & NS2.main-domain.com pointing to NS.main-server.com)
3. On main server, set up 2ndry NS - NS3 & NS4.main-domain.com as CNAME pointing to 2nd-server.com (NS1 & NS2.2nd-server.com)
4. hosted-domain DNS pointing to NS3 & NS4.main-domain.com
Problem is, NS3 & NS4 are working - But when i try looking up hosted-domain.com i get a 404 error.
What am i doing wrong?

I am having some problem with the DNS Zone setting on my VPS. I can't seem to load my page here :
[url]
This domain should resolves to this NameServers:
ns1.etrendstudio.com

The files are hosted on the servers here:
[url]
if there is a problem in setting up the DNS Zone?

My company provides free websites using an automated website builder we designed years ago. We also offer a option where members can add a domain name to their site. Because all our members pages are generated dynamically by the web builder script, when member adds the domain name option we simply add a DNS entry that includes an A record that directs the domain name to the IP address of the account on the server where the web builder is installed. All domains point to the same script and that script looks the domain up in a database table and gets the web page data for that website.
membersite1.com = /home/webbuilder/public_html/index.php
membersite2.com = /home/webbuilder/public_html/index.php
We are about to launch a new website builder that is not database-driven but includes a sub-directory for each member site. So, I need to find a way to redirect each member's domain to their sub-directory
membersite1.com = /home/webbuilder/public_html/member/m/membersite1
membersite2.com = /home/webbuilder/public_html/member/m/membersite2
I thought I could do with mod_rewrite in a .htaccess file in /home/webbuilder/public_html:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^membersite1.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ^/member/m/membersite1/$1 [L]
But it's not working. The .htaccess file has no impact at all.
.htaccess fle working? Or is there another, better way to point a domain name to a sub-directory?

We have a website hosted with 1and1 Internet and want to keep it like that with its current domain name www.companyname.com
However we have registered a new domain name with 123-Reg, which is company.uk.com, because 1and1 Internet dont allow you to register .uk.com domains
We want to switch to using the .uk.com domain as the main domain but keep the website with 1and1.
Is there a search engine friendly and invisible way of using the uk.com domain by somehow redirecting visitors, without the domain name switching visibly in the browser?

This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

Is it possible to change the name servers of a domain to point to my server and I will then automatically see the domain on my server, without having to create a DNS zone for it?

I've been asked to find a way to host our intranet externally without opening up the network.
The webserver accessible to the public domain is within an dmz. The intranet I need to serve is within our internal network.
I've managed to convince our network admin to open port 80 on the server running the intranet but I can't seem to find a way to proxy the content from the intranet server, through the webserver and to the user.

Our servers has been updated recently and my site is not working properly. It was working before the server change. When I click on the links, it doesn't update correctly, instead it gets the last cached data. I have to refresh each link for it to update which shouldn't be the case. I'm a front-end and have no access to servers. Could this be server-related?

I have a VPS running Plesk 11.x and yesterdady I tried adding a new domain to my subscription and received this error:
Error: Unable to update domain data: Unable to restore the DNS zone: an error occurred while adding the DOMAINNAME IN A DOMAINNAME record: Incorrect DNS record values were specified.
I have one subscription and under that a few domains. I've not had any DNS issues before so I'm a little stumped as to where to start looking. I suspect DNS template issues but I'm not that au fait with the DNS template so I don't want to start fiddling. My service provider suggested I look at [URL] ... which doesn't appear to be related as I have no duplicate domains under my subscription.
Following on from this the VPS is my personal server and I host a few sites for friends consequently I only have the one subscription. I've been advised that I should have one subscription per domain. Is that correct information?

I've taken a reseller account from ResellerZOOM which came with WHM/cPanel. I've my own private nameservers(meaning I got my own IP). I've a domain that I want to be forwarded to my wordpress.com blog, just like domain registrars offer domain forwarding but the registrar I registered my domain with doesn't give domain forwarding. so I was thinking that maybe I can point the domain to my nameservers & then have it forwarded to my wordpress.com blog. The thing is that I haven't used WHM before & I don't know how to do it, create some DNS zone maybe!!
The only way I know is to create an account for that domain, allot it some diskspace & then redirect via .htaccess file, which would be overkill IMHO. I know it can be done without creating an account, some other way.

its been long time since I have set one and its been really bugging with the feather theme interface, which I haven't used before
now, here is the pt.
I have 3 ips , I want the main ip to be unique
i.e assuming .2, .3 and .4 are the the ips we have ben provided with, where .2 is the main ip of the server (lxadmin)
now, in the dns template, I have 6 options where ip has to be assigned, as -
base, cp, mail, ns, ns1, ns2
I have set the base,cp, mail, ips to .3
I don't have a clue on what to set for the ns, ns1, ns2
I want .3 to be shown as the pinged ip when site is pinged.
We have set .3 and .4 as the nameserver ips in the registrar, so do I need to provide .3 as the ns1 ip and .4 as the ns2 ips or both the ips have to be .3
and what should be the ns ip?

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?

Heres what Ive done created a new user and set their home directory as /home/<user>. I then made a public_html folder within their home dir.
Then I went into httpd.conf, and added a virtual host for that domain with the document root to the public_html dir i created .
At this point, what is there left to do? I need to mess with the DNS right? Anything else?

I have recently just purchased an unmanaged vps from poundhost. I have never used a vps before so we shelled out for a WHM control panel! The issue now is that we do not have a nameserver set up or any main domain to use as a nameserver.
We have the main IP address and two additional IP's given to us by poundhost, how do I use these to start hosting and managing websites?

I have a web server running Server 2003 and IIS6. I can access everything fine via IP. Now I want to have a domain name work with it.
The server is in a .local domain environment. Does anyone have any info on how I should setup DNS for the web server if the domain itself is not getting any DNS info from the outside?
Is it just a matter of adding new A and NS records or do I need to be in a FQDN domain for it to work?

I ordered a domain from Name and a shared hosting package from Hawk Host. How do I set them up so they work together? I thought all I had to do was add the Hawk Host name servers to my Name account but that doesn't seem to be helping. I don't have any webpages up yet but I do have some files uploaded to be used as a redirect for a game server. The redirect isn't loading properly most of the time and when I type my domain name into a browser my directory won't show up either, just the parking page. I ordered both of these last week.

I've got SUSE 10 loaded and installed at home.
My ISP service is highspeed from Comcast (speed right now not an issue), I would like to setup a domain name on the box to play around with - nothing serious yet.
I have several domain names purchased (Wildwest & Enom) and would like to use one of those on this box, or even more domains at a later day.
