Hostname as nameserver

Help! (Home for newbies)

Hi all,

When I create a virtual server thru Virtualmin the aserver is created without any errors. However in DNS records I see that my hostname (server1.mydomain.com), not the nameservers I created (ns1.mydomain.com) is assigned as the primary nameserver to the created domain.

Here is the DNS record:

$ttl 38400 @ IN SOA server1.mydomain.com. root.server1.mydomain.com. ( 1349890177 10800 3600 604800 38400 ) createddomain.com. IN NS ns2.mydomain.com. createddomain.com. IN A 141.0.169.249 www.createddomain.com. IN A 141.0.169.249 ftp.createddomain.com. IN A 141.0.169.249 m.createddomain.com. IN A 141.0.169.249 localhost.createddomain.com. IN A 127.0.0.1 webmail.createddomain.com. IN A 141.0.169.249 admin.createddomain.com. IN A 141.0.169.249 mail.createddomain.com. IN A 141.0.169.249 createddomain.com. IN MX 5 mail.createddomain.com. createddomain.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:createddomain.com ip4:141.0.169.249 ~all

Thanks for the assistance

Howdy,

Well, it’s not likely to cause any problems… however, I believe it’s assigning that name based on the value of System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default -> BIND DNS Domain -> Master DNS server hostname.

It will use your system’s hostname by default, but you can change that to ns1.domain.com if you prefer.

Thanks for the response Eric

I thought this is some mistake I made when I created master dns zone. These are the A records I have:

Name TTL Address
server1.mydomain.com. Default xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
ns1.mydomain.com. Default xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
ns2.mydomain.com. Default xxx.xx.xxx.xxx

These are the NS records:

Name TTL Name Server server1.mydomain.com. Default ns1.mydomain.com. server1.mydomain.com. Default ns2.mydomain.com.

Are these all ok?
