They say you must select two name servers to list on so I chose two of their park servers. I used their website to add myself to one of the root servers and it worked fine. I now want to run my own name server because I want to have several subdomains such as 'person.example.com' and 'person2.example.com'. I took myself out of the root nameserver with godaddy.com. I read the FreeBSD handbook about how to run a nameserver, and here is what I have done. my named.conf has this added to it. let's say my domain is example.com and my my ip is 65.24.x.x options { directory "/etc/namedb"; } zone "example.com" { type master; file "example.com.db"; }; and this is what I put in example.com.db example.com. IN SOA ns1.example.com. admin.example.com. ( 2002111005 ; Serial 30M ; Refresh 3600 ; Retry 604800 ; Expire 86400 ) ; Minimum TTL ; DNS Servers @ IN NS ns1.example.com. ; Machine Names localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 ns1 IN A 65.24.x.x @ IN A 65.24.x.x ; Aliases person IN CNAME @ I want to run the nameserer and the http server from the same computer. Now when I type in http://example.com I get nothing. Does anybody have an idea about what I should do. Thanks for the help.
