Problems setting up a wildcard DNS on Sun Cobalt Raq 550
Hello. To make it short here's my problem:
I have a domain (doowap.net) and I wish to add a wildcard DNS for this domain. The db.doowap.net file looks like this: Code:
; db.doowap.net
;
; This file was automatically generated by dns_generate.pl. Do not
; edit this file directly. If you need to make additions to this
; file that CCE does not support, add your extra records to the
; db.doowap.net.include file.
$TTL 86400
doowap.net. IN SOA wsc193.amenworld.com. admin.wsc193.amenworld.com. (
1092727672 ; serial number
10800 ; refresh
3600 ; retry
604800 ; expire
86400 ; ttl
)
doowap.net. IN NS wsc193.amenworld.com.
www.doowap.net. in a 62.193.194.127
; User customizations go in this include file:
$INCLUDE db.doowap.net.include
From the comments included I understood that I shouldn't tinker with these settings but insted I put the following in the db.doowap.net.include file: Code:
; /etc/named/db.doowap.net.include ; user customizations can be added here. *.doowap.net. IN A 62.193.194.127 I restarted BIND by issuing: Code:
[root named]# /etc/init.d/named restart Shutting down DNS Server: named ok Setting up DNS Server: named But it doesn't seem to work. The host command run on the same machine returns the following: Code:
[root named]# host foo.doowap.net Host foo.doowap.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Where am I going wrong? What to do to get the wildcard DNS to work?

Well you got the right idea, there's just something else that is going wrong. Just in case replace this line:
$INCLUDE db.doowap.net.include to $INCLUDE /etc/named/db.doowap.net.include If that doesn't fix it, let me know, and I'll start telling you what to do and what to show me so that I can fix your server through you.

This is the preferred method if your DNS needs to be fixed/setup fast and you don't have the time to bounce messages back and forth on a forum.

I tried to modify as you said but actually I was sure before I did it that it will not work since earlier I also tried to put the
*.doowap.net. IN A 62.193.194.127 line directly into db.doowap.net and it didn't work. And on my appliance the db files are in located in /var/lib/named/etc/named/ So what should I do to see what is actually loaded by named because I'm getting paranoid here from a whole day of failures...

alright, time to do some investigation. Show me the response to these commands:
ps -Af | grep 'named' killall -KILL named named -u named -g Also attach (don't paste) these files: /etc/init.d/named /etc/named.conf /etc/named/db.doowap.net.include

Sorry for the late response but the problem was solved in the meantime. It turns out that there was a "higher level" admin at the registrar / host where I had to setup these and the changes I made in those file didn't matter. At least that's how it looks like.
