I've been working for days on getting my server up and running. I've been checking the operation with dnswalk. When I run; ns# dnswalk venture-1.com. Checking venture-1.com. Getting zone transfer of venture-1.com. from ns.venture-1.com...done. SOA=ns.venture-1.com contact=root.venture-1.com 0 failures, 0 warnings, 0 errors. This is cool, but when I run it on the full name, I get; ns# dnswalk ns.venture-1.com. Checking ns.venture-1.com. BAD: SOA record not found for ns.venture-1.com. BAD: ns.venture-1.com. has NO authoritative nameservers! BAD: All zone transfer attempts of ns.venture-1.com. failed! 0 failures, 0 warnings, 3 errors. It looks like I need a seperate zone file for venture-1.com and ns.venture-1.com. I don't believe that this is the case. What am I doing wrong??? Another 'interesting' thing that happens is when I do an nslookup on the ns address. It comes out looking like; > ns.venture-1.com Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: ns.venture-1.com Address: 205.213.64.11 Aliases: ns.venture-1.com, ns.venture-1.com This seems to be okay except for the aliases, I have no idea where these are coming from and I don't know if these issues are connected. Right now I'd appreciate ANY help, full or in part. If someone suggested that I quit and get a job at a bowling alley, right now I'd probably take them up on it.
