Search Again: Setup Help - Newbie From: Dennis J. Bonsall, Jr. Date: Friday, November 5, 1999 Time: 7:41:00 pm I recently purchased a copy of QuickDNS, and am having some setup problems. I was using MacDNS previously, and after importing my zone files, the results were not as expected. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the results, or I had something setup wrong in MacDNS, or am doing something wrong now. In any case, here is what is going on... 1.) My primary DNS server is still operating under MacDNS, until I get QuickDNS Setup. But, I am running QuickDNS on my secondary DNS server, but I am running it as a primary server as well. So, it should not be referencing the other server for information. 2.) I currently host around 30 domain names on my DNS server. My DNS servers are to be named 'dns1.webbuilders.com' and 'dns2.webbuilders.com'. However, in each domain file that is loaded, the NS server is listed as 'webbuilders.top.net'. This is the IP lookup name for our main webserver, as provided by our ISP. But, in our domain file for webbuilders.com, we have the lookup name for that IP as 'webbuilders.com'. When I changed the value for NS entry in the domain file for webbuilders.com to 'dns1.webbuilders.com', the change was accepted, as I anticipated. However, when I changed this value in the other domain files, they were changed to (for example) 'dns1.webbuilders.com.customerdomain.com'. How do I get the record to simply know that the DNS server should be 'dns1.webbuilders.com'. 3.) I get similar results when I attempt to change the information in the Domain Information window, within not only the "Primary" field, but also in the "Hostmaster" field (which I am trying to change to webmaster@webbuilders.com). Does anyone have any suggestion to solve my problem? Thanks, Dennis Bonsall
