mydomain.org DNS to ns1.mydomain.com

I'm having a moment...

I have reserved mydomain.org and I set the DNS settings when I reserved it to ns1.mydomain.com because mydomain.com is already propagated
I have set the virtual host in apache for mydomain.org.

SO, the propagated ns1.mydomain.com DNS entry will direct mydomain.org requests to my server IP and then Apache will direct it to the mydomain.org website, RIGHT?.

I don't need another DNS master file, RIGHT?

Sounds right, looks right, isn't feeling 100% right.

thanks,

I just used Silentrages DNS lookup for my new domain
and got this::


OK, Why is my .org able to use the .com file, but isn't getting an ANSWER RECORD response ?

As you can see, it is "resending" the request too many times. It should've stopped at ns1|2.fedoradocs.org but didn't cause your server told DNS Crawler that it isn't a host for that domain - look at the root again. This is viewable by clicking the aqua "ns1|2.fedoradocs.org" link in the resending list. This is a good way to scroll back to see what an earlier server had said. I really need to make DNS Crawler more intelligent so that it stops when it recieves the root servers again.

dig fedoradocs.org

So either the server isn't configured for that domain or the server is configured, but hasn't reloaded the configuration file. Whatever the case may be, the server thinks it's not a host for that domain.

Thanks for the info...I've tweaked my DNS file to add .org and I've reloaded the file.
I'll wait for the file to propagate.

This is the exact reason I reserved the second domain, to see what happens...I'm getting my $8.95 worth of gray hair ;-)

66.93.60.224 appears to be under SpeakEasy (the best DSL ISP to host your own servers on the planet). Don't you have multiple static IP? You can make a request to Speakeasy for reverse DNS at no charge.

There's no reason for your server to take a long time to say it is a host of that domain. It's merely about configuring it and reloading the config. Execute this command if you haven't already.

rndc reload

The idea is to get something other than a list of *.root-servers.net in that link I gave you. If it still shows *.root-servers.net records in there then you're not doing something right.

attached is my modified fedoradocs.com.zone file

I am not understanding howto have multiple domains use the same zone file, ie. ns1.fedoradocs.com.zone

If the first domain is up and running, what is the proceedure for grafting another site to use the same nameserver ?

You can't add the fedoradocs.org domains to the fedoradocs.com zone. They're entirely separate zones. You need a zone file for fedoradocs.com and a separate file for fedoradocs.org.

Ahh...But, can I use the same .rev file as they are both on the same IP?

yeah
