Topic: SME as an Internet DNS server

[stefangk]

thats not the point. I got my webserver running(http://myip). I just want to host my own DNS not a free DNS. I have bought a domain.

Doing whois of the domain  jurgen-meijer.nl it's obvious that your domain registrar is  Lycos Netherlands B.V. and that your current dns servers are:
nshost1.st2.lyceu.net
nshost2.st2.lyceu.net
nshost3.st2.lyceu.net

If tou look at the technical contact e-mail address you will see that his/her domain is webcenter.lycos.nl. Point your browser to this address and login into Control Panel. There should be section for managing DNS servers. If you have problems conntact the person in technical contact for assistance.

I any case you should manage to set you first dns server to be FQDN/IP of your server.

About downloaded rpm see item 3 in my instruction:

Code: [Select]

yum localinstall smeserver-tinydns-public-1.0.0-4.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

when you where asked Y/N - say Yes and after finish of installation do:

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

No lycos hasnt got a proper DNS control panel so i moved my domain to a good host who has it all. in a couple of hours it should be up.

hello,

you can find here:
http://www.gormand.com.au/smeserver/WIP/smeserver-tinydns-public/smeserver-tinydns-public-1.0.0-01.noarch.rpm

NOTE: installing that rpm could break your server.. and, if you install it, you'll be on your own

That is a bad idea as for proper DNS setup you would need two machines to service DNS requests preferrably in seperate locations.
