Domain Name Server (DNS) Redirection / Setting Up Zone(s)
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 ).

Domain Redirection
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?

SEO Friendly Domain Redirection
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?

DNS Subdomain Record Point To Another DNS Nameserver
I have a dedicated server with Hostgator and I want to point img1.smackjeeves.com to img1.smackjeeves.com on my Dreamhost server. Dreamhost tells me what nameservers to use for smackjeeves.com, but my Hostgator server is already serving as a nameserver. Can I have my main DNS record point to Dreamhost's DNS only for img1? Or do I need to have my img1 mimic Dreamhost's DNS for img1?

Wildcard Dns Record
I have a server: serverA.maindomain.com and another serverB.maindomain.com The DNS records for maindomain.com are on serverA so the serverB A record is on serverA which is fine (i am aware it's a risk if serverA goes down). If I'm setting a sub domain of serverB such as site1.serverB.maindomain.com I have to setup an A record on serverA for the subdomain and I don't want to have to do this every time. Is there anyway I can setup a wildcard A record for subdomains such as: *.serverB.maindomain.com

DNS A-Record Hosting
I have lot of proxies hosted on my dedicated server. Currently i use servage.net nameservers and change the A-Record ip of the domain to the dedicated server ips.My dedicated server provides only very limited DNS services so i cant use them. Since i have sold all my other sites in servage,i dont want to continue that hosting account. All the domains are registered in Domain.com which do not provide any DNS services. So is there any free or very cheap place where i can use the nameservers and edit A-record to my dedicated server?it should not have any down time etc and should be reliable. Thats the only requirement i need so i dont want to waste a full hosting account for just that redirecting functionality.

MX Record Domain Has Expired
I have a site mydomain-name.com that is running and the mail server for it was mail.mydomain-name.org However the mydomain-name.org has expired and I don't want to renew it. I just want to use the .com domain and have the mail use mail.mydomain-name.com So i created the MX records for the .com domain .. Now my question is do i have to also contact my registar for the domain and ask them to update their records so that now it points to the new MX? I am really new at this stuff so please bare with me.. when i do an nslookup in DOS it still shows the .org as my mail server. mydomain-name.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.mydomain-name.org Is this something that needs to be changed at the registrar level?

Dedicated Server Hosting With Self DNS Record Submission
I was using dedicated server from ev1servers.net. They are excellent. One of the feature .. unless I forgot was the ability to add our domain record to their DNS server by ourselves. I think it was controlcommand, or commandcenter, or was it controlcentre , I forget. This feature is very fascinating as I can make my site up and running within second. [I know where to register domain with real time activation, and I have reseller account with WHM] So everytime I have an idea of making a website. All of this cycle can be done within seconds , and my site is up and running. [register domain, create account in WHM, and populate the DNS record] Anybody know any dedicated server provider which offering this kinda feature this day?

Difference Between A Cname Record And A Domain Pointer
I am seriously confused mainly because of the way it was explained in my training at work. Can someone please give me an explantion of the difference between creating a cname record and using a domain pointer? My understanding is that they both effectively do the same thing which is allow one ip address to be used for different domains. Extra marks given for an easy to understand analogy as i'm definately a visual learner.

Can I Point MX Record For Third-party Domain To Yahoo Small Biz Mail?
My client has a domain registered at GoDaddy and a Yahoo Small Business email package. The only info I can find on Yahoo suggests I need to redelegate the domain's name servers to Yahoo, and I'd rather not do this if I can help it. Is it possible to simply leave the name servers at GoDaddy and point the MX record to Yahoo's servers? I don't see anything on Yahoo saying it won't work, but then I see nothing to suggest it will either!

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?

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?

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.

Domain Dns And Configuration
I've recently been trying to get my domain name volmasoft.com onto my new vps. What i've done so far: * setup a host for ns1.volmasoft.com to go to 69.162.73.83 * setup a host for ns2.volmasoft.com to go to 69.162.73.84 * Set volmasoft.com to use ns1.volmasoft.com and ns2.volmasoft.com. After 3 days it's finally gone off the godaddy page and proporgated (or so I thought) I now get an "address not found" I can't trace the domain, nor ping it as it can't resolve the domain. However the whois does show that it's set to the ns1 and ns2 nameservers and IP of 69.162.73.83.

Domain Name Server DNS Pointing
Hello all, hope someone can help. I have a domain incl. hosting (fanferwalde.com) and three extra domain names, fanferwalde.nl , fanfalingasate.com , fanfalingasate.nl (all three without hosting) who I want to point to fanferwalde.com. Before I bought the extra domains I asked the provider if I could point the extra domains to the head domain (fanferwalde.com). Yes, that was possible they said so I bought the extra domains. I asked the provider to help with the configuration to point them to the head domain but they refused, I must do it by myself
.. There is no possibility they do it when I pay extra for it so I feel pressed to take also a hosting for the extra domains; then I can make a redirect on each index page. All domain names have an own DNS control panel. I have full access to this. The first picture is the DNS from the head domain. The second picture is the DNS from one of the extra domains I want to point to the head domain. What must I put where so the website from fanferwalde.com will appear when I write fanferwalde.nl in the browser? THANKS in advance!!! (Sorry for my bad English, Im Dutch)

Domain Name Server DNS Cluster

So, is that correct? 2. It seems that when I click on 'syncronize all DNS records on all the servers' only cluster01 and srv01 got all the DNS records. So is it normal? Yet If I add a domain on cluster02 for example, where I need to add the DNS? cluster02 named.conf or on cluster01/srv01?

Domain Name Server (DNS) Changes With Subdomains
I currently have shared hosting, but am getting VPS with another company. I'd like to keep my domains on my original hosting and direct the domains to the new server. I've been reading and it doesn't seem that hard to change for a regular domain. The problem is I don't seem to understand how to do the same for a subdomain. I keep reading about the A record and CNAME, but just don't get it. Does anyone have any experience with this. Do I just put the IP address for the new server in the A record? I just want to make sure I know what's going on before I order my new hosting and find out it's not possible or something. I'm also curious if mail, like myname@mydomain.com will continue to work. Or is there something I need to change for this as well.

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.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Needed
I need 2 dedicated DNS servers. I'd like one server on the east coast and one on the west or close to it. They will be used for primary ans secondary dns only. Simply running Bind and webmin. I need cheap servers since they are pushing dns data around. Not very bandwidth intensive or cpu resource intensive. The most important thing is that the backbone redundancy is amazing. You can get a good server at a lot of place these day, but who has the staff and backbone to make sure these servers are not bottlenecked and up and running.

Confused About Domain Name Server (DNS)
My domain registrar does not have the facility to create nameservers which means I can't create my own DNS for my websites. I wanted to create ns1.smsmasters.co.uk and ns2.smsmasters.co.uk as my DNS. Does 123-reg allow you to setup your own nameservers and assign an ip? I'm really confused as to what to do. In the past I used my host's DNS.

Moving Domain Name Server (DNS) ...
I'm trying to move sites from one cPanel server to another. Presently, I am using the clustered DNS option in WHM to keep the two servers DNS in sync, which has allowed me to avoid messing with switching name servers for domains as I moved them. Now, I'm looking to turn off the original server, but that server is the one hosting the name servers that most of the domains use (ns1 and ns2.serverforest.com). I'd like to move those name servers over to the new server, which I presume is as simple as re-registering them in the control panel over at my registrar. However, I presume I also need to bind IPs on the new server to the original DNS names. However, if I do that and the DNS cluster syncing occurs, won't that mess things up while I await the registrar making the changes? Do I need to turn off clustering before making the switch? Is there a way to do this seamlessly? Also, for testing purposes I created ns3 and ns4.serverforest.com on the new server. If I now want to move over ns1 and ns2, can I set them on the same two IPs that ns3 and ns4 "own" without any trouble?

I am having a slight email issue after moving my DNS to DNS Made Easy. On my wordpress blog I have it set to email me comments which the blog does just fine but ever since the DNS change I am having a weird issue. I use gmail for my email which threads emails. Now everytime I get a comment on the blog wordpress sends a new email and gmail doesn't thread them like it used to. Do i need to add something to my DNS for mail. I never added anything and the server is obvisoulsy sending mail. Yep I am a noob and a little lost. I hope you understand what I am getting at here. * GMAIL threads emails * After DNS Change GMAIL is not threading my wordpress comments only * Never added anything to DNS records in regards to email from the server Thanks a lot guys. hope you got an idea. I did search google and wordpress with no luck. I added a screencap of my DNS

Managed Domain Name Server (DNS) ...
So i am planning to move my clients from one server to another and the problem is i want to minimize downtime or have absolutely no downtime. On top of all of this, i plan on moving the server again as i get more money to do it. Anyways, here is the current situation.... mydomain.com has the following nameservers ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com My clients are also using ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com I wanted to move my DNS to a managed DNS solution somewhere else and then do the change of servers. Would this be the right way to go about things? Or am i forgetting something? Would it be frowned upon the the hosting industry to have my DNS hosted somewhere else? And last, if i do what im trying to do, how do i do it? lol. I need to keep ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com still active.

VPS - IP And Domain Name Server (DNS)
I'm going to start to configurate a VPS and I have a few questions, please help me. 1- If I have a VPS and I want to have some domains there, Do I need private nameservers? Is there any other way to go? (for example, could I use the DNS of my provider?) 2- How many IP Addresses do I need for a VPS? I think if I have to use private nameservers I'd need two IP for them. Is it correct? And if I want to have reverse DNS for my Host, I think I would need a IP address to be used on for that. Is it correct? So, I would need at least 3 IP Addresses. Is it correct? 3- Is it possible to use a VPS with only two IP Address? Many VPS providers give you only two IP Addresses. Could I use 1 IP Address for DNS and reverse DNS for my Host at the same time? Is it not a problem with hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc?
