Search Again: DNS Question From: Jeff Grossman Date: Tuesday, December 4, 2001 Time: 11:56:04 am I have a question about DNS. I am running QuickDNS 3.5.3 on a G4 with Mac OS 9.0.4 and AppleShareIP. My domain name is turners.com. Here is a copy of the DNS for turners.com which is off-site. Start: 12/4/01 11:51:53 AM ;; Query: turners.com ,type =3D AXFR , class =3D ANY ;; Resolver Options: Search up local domain tree Use default domain name Recursion desired [dragnet.seagull.net] 3H IN SOA ns1.seagull.net. hostmaster.seagull.net. ( 2001082801 ; serial 3H ; refresh 1H ; retry 1W ; expiry 3H ) ; minimum 3H IN NS ns1.seagull.net. 3H IN NS ns2.seagull.net. 3H IN A 209.102.21.252 3H IN MX 20 corp corp 3H IN A 64.105.28.144 ftp 3H IN CNAME @ mail 3H IN CNAME @ * 3H IN CNAME @ corp1 3H IN A 64.105.28.144 www 3H IN CNAME @ @ 3H IN SOA ns1.seagull.net. hostmaster.seagull.net. ( 2001082801 ; serial 3H ; refresh 1H ; retry 1W ; expiry 3H ) ; minimum =80 Zone Transfer Complete 12/4/01 11:51:55 AM =80 But the corp.turners.com and corp1.turners.com machines are at my office behind a NAT router. So, that is why I set up the local DNS server for those two machines. But, there are numerous times during a week, when I type in corp.turners.com or corp1.turners.com, while using my local DNS server, it will resolve to the 64.105.28.144 address instead of my local one. Here is a copy of my DNS zone record for my local DNS server. How come this does not always make the corp.turners.com server resolve to 192.168.168.15? Start: 12/4/01 11:47:11 AM ;; Query: turners.com ,type =3D AXFR , class =3D ANY ;; Resolver Options: Search up local domain tree Use default domain name Recursion desired [corp.turners.com] $ORIGIN turners.com. @ 1H IN SOA 192.168.168.15 hostmaster ( 2001120302 ; serial 3H ; refresh 1H ; retry 1W ; expiry 1H ) ; minimum 1H IN NS corp1 1H IN NS corp 1H IN A 209.102.21.252 1H IN MX 20 corp corp 1H IN A 192.168.168.15 corp1 1H IN A 192.168.168.229 ns1 1H IN A 192.168.168.15 ns2 1H IN A 192.168.168.229 www 1H IN A 209.102.21.252 @ 1H IN SOA 192.168.168.15 hostmaster ( 2001120302 ; serial 3H ; refresh 1H ; retry 1W ; expiry 1H ) ; minimum =80 Zone Transfer Complete 12/4/01 11:47:11 AM =80 Thanks for the help. Also, my main DNS and website are offsite, where my mail server is in house behind the NAT router.
