DNS Problem

[RAH]

Hello,

I am currently trying to get the domain "cruiselinefans.com" working on a new server. The name servers ns1/ns2.cruiselinefans.com have been registered and are working however apparently the A record is missing on the new server. I just changed the name servers back to the old server to prevent any further downtime.

I just changed the NS back to the old server to prevent any further downtime.

Here's my setup on the new server:

/etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
67.215.235.206 server.cruiselinefans.com server
127.0.0.1 server.cruiselinefans.com server localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6



/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf - end of file

<VirtualHost server.cruiselinefans.com:80>
ServerAdmin xxx@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /www
ServerName 67.215.235.206
ErrorLog logs/error_log
CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost cruiselinefans.com:80>
ServerAdmin xxx@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /www
ServerName 67.215.235.206
ErrorLog logs/error_log

</VirtualHost>

Include conf/vhosts/*.conf

/etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

Are your really using ipv6?

/var/named/cruiselinefans.com.db

$TTL 14400
@ 86400 IN SOA ns1.cruiselinefans.com.
xxx@gmail.com. (
2008074501 ; serial, todays date+todays
86400 ; refresh, seconds
7200 ; retry, seconds
3600000 ; expire, seconds
86400 ) ; minimum, seconds
cruiselinefans.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.cruiselinefans.com.
cruiselinefans.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.cruiselinefans.com.

Since you have your default TTL set in the SOA record you don't need to redefine it in the 'NS' records.

ns1 IN A 67.215.235.206
ns2 IN A 67.215.235.207
cruiselinefans.com. IN A 67.215.235.206
cruiselinefans.com. IN A 127.0.0.1

This is a problem. By setting 127.0.0.1 as an 'A' record for your domain you have created a 'round-robin'. You need to fix this. Once this is fixed your problems should also go away.

cruiselinefans.com. IN MX 0 cruiselinefans.com.
mail IN CNAME cruiselinefans.com.
www IN CNAME cruiselinefans.com.
ftp IN A 67.215.235.206

zone "server.cruiselinefans.com" IN {
type master;
file "/var/named/server.cruiselinefans.com.db";
};

$TTL 14400
@ 86400 IN SOA ns1.cruiselinefans.com.
xxx@gmail.com. (
2008074501 ; serial, todays date+todays
86400 ; refresh, seconds
7200 ; retry, seconds
3600000 ; expire, seconds
86400 ) ; minimum, seconds
server.cruiselinefans.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.cruiselinefans.com.
server.cruiselinefans.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.cruiselinefans.com.
server.cruiselinefans.com. IN A 67.215.235.206
localhost.cruiselinefans.com. IN A 127.0.0.1

Not sure why you have a second zone file defined. It could all be handled by the first zone file.

Thanks, that makes sense for the most part apart from the bit regarding IP V6. I'm not using that, what should be changed there?

I removed the round-robin A entry, restarted named and the issue remains.

It should be set for IPv4. You should be able to accomplish this by editing the /etc/modprobe.conf file.
