Install - DNS Issues...

[elementsofway]

I modified my /etc/bind/zones/elementsofway.com.db file, now it looks like the following:

@ IN SOA ns.elementsofway.com. admin.elementsofway.com. (

                        200608081       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
                        8H              ; refresh, seconds
                        2H              ; retry, seconds
                        4W              ; expire, seconds
                        1D )            ; minimum, seconds
;
                NS      zcs             ; Inet Address of name server
                MX      10 mail.elementsofway.com.
;
zcs              A       192.168.1.90
mail.elementsofway.com            A       192.168.1.90

I played with the .db file a little based on the DNS in a nutshell, but still no luck. Do I need to restart bind (/etc/init.d/bind9 restart) between file changes or restart networking (/etc/init.d/networking restart)?

Also, I've noticed that my network settings do not reflect my 192.168.1.90 machine but reflect my DSL modem. Whenever I add my machine it stays there until I restart the networking service. Could that be causing the problem, my dig requests not even hitting my local DNS?

Thanks!

Sorry, I should have said - restart bind as that's when the files get loaded.

[elementsofway]

Even after I restart bind, dig still does not resolve properly and the installation provides the same warning.

Sorry, I seem to have lost track of this thread. How are you getting on with it, any progress?

[elementsofway]

Thanks for your help, but I have given up. I may try with a different distro later, but for now I've moved on.

I'm sorry to hear that.
Let us know if we can help in the future.
