The format of named files isn't quite as free-form as you apparently
think. :-) Compare one of mine:
$TTL 1H
@ IN SOA ns3.radel.com. jon.radel.com. (
2010100400 ; serial
1H ; refresh
15M ; retry
2W ; expiry
30M ) ; minimum
IN NS ns.radel.com.
IN NS ns2.radel.com.
IN NS ns3.radel.com.
IN NS ns4.radel.com.
with yours:
$TTL 3600
OK
johannesang.com. IN SOA host.johannesang.com. root.johannesang.com. (
OK; "@" in mine is shorthand for "the domain which this zone file
defines", but giving the domain explicitly works fine.
2012040100 42 1d 12h 1w 3h
Starts as OK syntax, but a 42 second refresh with 1 day retry strikes me
as dubious at best and then you have an extra value on the end.
Actually, I suspect that 42 is actually your extra value. "2012040100"
is the serial number, you know.
Serial, Refresh, Retry, Expire, Neg. cache TTL
This line is extraneous garbage, as you've not commented it out; that's
what the semi-colons do in my example. I suspect that's why one error
message moans about an error in the vicinity of the "3h", as that's an
extra value followed by garbage.
Missing close parenthesis.
;DNS Servers
johannesang.com. IN NS host.johannesang.com.
Looks fine.
;Machine Names
host.johannesang.com. IN A 167.205.79.105
Looks fine
;Aliases
www IN CNAME host.johannesang.com.
Looks fine
here is my db.johannesang file
$TTL 3600
79.205.167.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA host.johannesang.com. root.johannesang.com.
2012040100 42 1d 12h 1w 3h
missing open and close parenthesis, extra value
Serial, Refresh, Retry, Expire, Neg. cache TTL
extraneous garbage
Etc. You're pretty close and it should work fine after you clean up
your syntax a bit.
