I have a new dedicated server (Ubuntu 8.04.04 LTS) which came very cheaply but with the most restrictive control panel I have ever seen.
We were provided the root password to control things ourselves but at the expense of losing all technical support.
I now have everything set up and seemingly working but I am unable to get domain names to resolve.
The server is running Bind9, with webmin and virtualmin ontop.
I have setup several virtualservers and alias virtualservers in virtualmin and these are working fine.
The site with a dedicated IP works fine when I access by IP.
my /etc/resolve.conf file displays
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
resolving these 2 IP addresses gets
ns3.xxxxdns.co.uk
ns4.xxxxdns.co.uk
I pointed several domains (setup in virtualmin) to these nameservers almost 2 days ago now.
Doing a dig command for one of these domains using dns on my server returns my ip and my server as the authoritive answer. As I expect.
However doing a dig for the same domain to my nameserver returns
; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> @ns3.xxxxdns.co.uk xxxxxxwedding.com A
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
A DNS lookup for the domain shows the name server that I queried above.
So I figure the problem is that my server is not sending its DNS records to the nameservers listed in resolve.conf properly.
Is there a step that I have missed or a way to check that things are configured correctly?
