Sanders Sent: Friday, August 11, 2000 10:26 To: PLUG Subject: my own domain and DNS Sorry for the long email, but I am struggling and wanted to make sure I gave all the info that I had. Thanks in advance. I run Mandrake 7.0 and BIND 8.2.2 I have recently go my own domain, thesanders.org. I am going to be my master DNS server, with ns1.granitecanyon.com being my secondary. I want to let the DNS tables see the following: thesanders.org www.thesanders.org ftp.thesanders.org mail.thesanders.org all resolving to my IP address. I copied a friend of mine who basically does the same thing. However mine does not seem to be working correctly. See my named.conf and thesanders.org zone file below. Also, how long does it take to get informatin into the "world" DNS tables? I have seen answers from 3 days upto weeks. Just curious. Also is there a way I can get my secondary updated as soon as I update my primary? notify option? create a secondary entry?
