You need an A record for the domain itself: superease.net. IN A 202.68.195.36 www IN A 202.68.195.36
The first one (terminated by the dot) tells it lookup for the domain name "superease.net" itself. The dot is important - without it this would try to lookup superease.net.superease.net. The second one www (without a dot) tells it to lookup www.superease.net by appending the domain to the entry. -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Cefull Lo Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 9:42 AM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: no hostname become unresolvable. Hi everybody, I just setup my dns using bind-9.6.1-P2 when I try to ping the server with a hostname, that's ok. i.e. #ping www.superease.net PING www.superease.net (202.68.195.36) 56(84) bytes of data. But when I try to ping the server without hostname, #ping superease.net ping: unknown host superease.net Can someone tell me what's up?!?!?!?
