setting up a second domain in BIND

Hey, I set up my first domain now I want to set up a second domain in BIND. I have the domain's name server set up as the original domain's name server. Should I copy the zone file and change the info to be for the new domain or is there some other way to do it.

Yes, but don't forget to edit your named.conf file to let it know about the new zone file and also restart your named.

i went to services and restarted bind is that what you meant by restarting named or is there something else

is there some way i can test the domain to see that its working?

and how can i make it so it uses ns1.originaldomain.com and not ns1.newdomain.com

Yep, that's what I meant.

You could tell us the domain name or use Silent Rage's DNS Query Tool: http://www.dollardns.net/cgi-bin/dnscrawler/index.pl

its trying to use the name server of the new domain instead of the original one. how can i fix it so it tries the original name server

the domain name is "jojonetwork.com"

Please post your config files for both your old and new domains here then.

Here they are:

http://www.gtaremix.com/bind/68.82.38.rev
http://www.gtaremix.com/bind/jojonetwork.com.zone
http://www.gtaremix.com/bind/named.conf
http://www.gtaremix.com/bind/remixnetwork.com.zone

Let me see if I understand you correctly. When you query jojonetwork.com, it says that the nameservers are ns1 and ns2.jojonetwork.com instead of ns1 and ns2.remixnetwork.com, correct?

In that case, you'll need to change these two lines:

to

Also, you can delete the two NS A record lines.
Warning: I haven't tested this and I'm typing in a rush .
