Bind zones can be tricky with formatting, probably just observing what your tool is generating that works matches the formatting of your hand-built zone. Manually managing bind zones is rather annoying I've found, this was using it for some very large companies. Last time I setup dns I used unbind on a hosted server, it's a bit less quirky than bind, plus does things like dns over https and other evolutionary dns security features. Might find it more to your liking. -mb On Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 7:27 AM Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > Thank you for your help!! > > It appears Apache is working.
