Hi,
I have never configured bind before. I have a Debian (slink+potato) box.
I have bind 8.2.2p3-1 installed on this box.
I want this box to be the primary DNS server (the one that is listed in the
whois record) for my domain name. The entries for the various things in my
domain would be pretty simple. Only one 'A' record for foo.org Everything
else would (at the moment) be CNAME records pointing to the A record.
I tried following the instructions in the DNS HOWTO. Things work fine when
I do a nslookup from the machine which is running bind. But when I do an
nslookup remotely (setting this machine that is running bind as the server)
all queries time out.
Would greatly appreciate step by step instructions (or pointers to step by
step instructions) on how to set up a primary domain name server on Debian.
Thanks a lot.
Thaths
