ok.. i put my own nameserver:
ns1.merrytech.com.mx
ip: 63.70.73.73
linux 9.0 hostname= ns1.merrytech.com.mx


i wan't to setup web page:
www.merrytech.com.mx and email;
user@merrytech.com.mx

the config files are:
file:/etc/named.conf

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

include "/etc/named.custom";

include "/etc/rndc.key";

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};
zone "73.70.63.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "73.70.63.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};

zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
};
zone "merrytech.com.mx" {
type master;
file "merrytech.com.mx.zone";
};

file:/etc/resolve.conf

can someone help.. pliz??

There needs to be dot at the end of sistemas.merrytech.com.mx. and after ns1.merrytech.com.mx

Currently I get this when I do an MX lookup for merrytech.com.mx:

Note the extra .merrytech.com.mx being appended - that's the result of missing off the .'s in your zone file. Note you must reload BIND after making these changes to your zone files.

IN NS ns1.merrytech.com.mx.

@ IN MX 1 ns1.merrytech.com.mx.

www IN A 63.70.73.73
ns1.merrytech.com.mx. IN A 63.70.73.73
@ IN A 63.70.73.73



how about now??
can u check again pliz?

Fixed

Note this information may take 24 hours to propagate around the internet - I know it's working because I queried your server directly.

but now i'm getting an error at
www.dnsstuff.com

in the option Reverse DNS for 63.70.73.73


*ERROR* A Record does not point back to original IP

i didn't get this error before... ;(

is someone playing with me??

now i don't have an error???

explain this pliz...

ok.. think i understand a little more..

there was an error reporting.. beacuse i was connecting to a server that didn't updated yet! to my new config files.. right??

ok..

now i do a www.dnsreport.com an Email TEST, and aldo a www.dnsstuff.com reverse dns test and everythings seems fine..

please check this..

So.. in theory and in practice... my DNS, Nameserver, Email are setup correctly??

i got back the emails i sent to coppel.com !!
