I read in forums about people that could run their own DNS server at the same server they had their sites, that's why I tried. But I know (and I understand why) that the good practice is to have two external DNS servers in different locations. > > Reverse zone > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ; 11.22.33 > > $TTL 86400 > > @ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. root.mydomain.com.

Stop here, this is my obscure point: how do you get that your dns be asked? What do you need? What must I ask to my isp (my vps provider in this case) for? What do you mean by "to be designated nameserver for the IPs"? > Second - what is the name of 11.22.33.44? Is it mydomain.com? > www.mydomain.com? ns1.mydomain.com?

Well, my goal (tell me if it is a fantasy:)) is to be able to update automatically my registers. I ignore the features and flexibility of bind, perhaps I should change the strategy. Could you give me some clue? Can I use bind just as slave of the external name server (being it godaddy's dns or my vps provider's one)? > Regards, > Torinthiel > _______________________________________________ > bind-users mailing list > bind-users@lists.isc.org > https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users Thanks for answer me! _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
