OK, asides from the separate need for delegation from your upstream
provider of the relevant in-addr.arpa zone, you'll need to do the
following:
- in /var/named/boot.zones:
primary 162.109.198.in-addr.arpa 162.109.198.rev.zone
- in /var/named/162.109.198.rev.zone (or whatever you call the zone file):
@ IN SOA ns.3dillusion.com hostmaster.3dillusion.com (
1997110800 ; serial
604800 ; refresh - 1 wk
86400 ; retry - 1 day
2419200 ; expire - 4 wks
604800 ) ; default ttl - 1 wk
; you may want to change the above values. They're good if your setup is
; reasonably stable. I moved my box last week with these settings and
; some mail took a little while to find its way. If you're moving hosts
; around all the time shorten the values appropriately. These values came
; from a DNS FAQ, I think. Your existing values seem a bit low - they
; may cause unnecessary DNS traffic.
43 IN PTR 3dillusion.com. ; (or whatever you want
; your IP to reverse-
; resolve to.)
That's it for this file. I just checked out your zone that you posted and
I think it needs some correction. I'm not sure if it should be working
now, even. Here's my version of it:
@ IN SOA ns.3dillusion.com hostmaster.3dillusion.com (
97110800 ; serial (yymmddxx)
604800 ; refresh 1 week
86400 ; retry 1 day
2419200 ; expire 4 weeks
604800 ) ; ttl 1 week
IN A 198.109.162.43
IN MX 100 mail.3dillusion.com.
IN NS ns.3dillusion.com.
ns IN A 198.109.162.43
; NS RRs not supposed to be CNAMEs
ftp IN CNAME 3dillusion.com.
; This is how CNAMEs work.
mail IN CNAME 3dillusion.com.
www IN CNAME 3dillusion.com.
3dillusion IN CNAME 3dillusion.com.
paul IN CNAME 3dillusion.com.
IN HINFO I386 LINUX
; Not sure how HINFO is supposed to be
; formatted. Might need quotes or
; something.
Hope this is helpful. You need a reference to this file in
/var/named/boot.zones also. If you're using BIND 8, you'll need to run the
'bindconfig' script when you're done to create the new '/etc/named.conf'
that version 8 uses.
Good luck... I remember the nightmare I had getting DNS to work about 2
years ago... figured I'd help someone in a similar situation.
