Register with DNS service

Vernon Brown_2 — Fri, 03 May 2002 15:51:08 GMT

I just registered cabot-biz.com through Hosting.com but now I find that they don't provide DNS. I'm trying to set up DNS service with granitecanyon.com. I enter the following in their form:

cabot-biz.com. IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
cabot-biz.com IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.

cabot-biz.com IN RP veb.cabot-biz.com

veb.cabot-biz.com IN TXT "Vernon Brown, NIC handle: Vern"

NET
localhost.cabot-biz.com. IN A 127.0.0.1

; The IP addresses below are reserved for networks
; not connected to the InterNet. They are not routable by
; most publicly accessible backbones and are here as an
; example only.

; some useful puns that cannot be CNAMEs because
; they are referenced by MX records, below

; an address for the zone itself

cabot-biz.com. IN A 90.0.0.1

I'll post the nslint error messages below. Does anyone know what is wrong with the entry???

And this is the error message when I hit the send button:

Go back and fix these errors:

nslint: .//tmp/cabot-biz.com.1020445197:6 "veb.cabot-biz.com" outside zone cabot-biz.com.
nslint: .//tmp/cabot-biz.com.1020445197:8 unknown record type ""
nscheck: RP email address is implausible
nscheck: RP TXT field is missing

Hello Vernon,

To help the diagnostic, please post the following information :

* /etc/named.conf
* /var/log/messages (if you tried to start the name daemon)
* All the name db files only if you don't have secret information inside. Otherwise, post at least the headers (SOA records).

Good luck.

Kodjo

Thanks we're getting closer; now have it down to one error. Problem was missing periods at the end of the domain names :o)

Form now looks like:

cabot-biz.com. IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
cabot-biz.com. IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.

cabot-biz.com. IN RP veb.cabot-biz.com.

veb.cabot-biz.com. IN TXT "Vernon Brown, NIC handle: Vern"
veb.cabot-biz.com. IN TXT "Vernon Brown, RIPE NIC handle: Vernon"

localhost.cabot-biz.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
