Ok, I am sure that I am not the only one to do this, so if anyone who has done it before could help me... I registered my domain through godaddy.com, lets call it mydomain.com With godaddy's DNS control panel I created ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com pointing to the SAME ip address. Then I install bind9 on mydomain.com (linode server debian sarge) # apt-get install bind9 With bind9 I am using the default configuration + a zone entry for mydomain.com in /etc/bind/named.conf.local pointing to a zone file for mydomain.com Then I go back to godaddy to change the nameservers for mydomain.com to (custom) ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com But..... I gives me what it calls an "unavailable error" and my nameservers remain godaddy defaults. How can I change my nameservers to point to my machine so that I can edit the zone file myself. I know that godaddy will do all the DNS stuff for me, but I would like to have it done on my machine. Thanks |

Indeed, Godaddy shouldn't accept such a configuration. Please at least consider using http://www.zoneedit.com/ as your secondary nameserver. dishkuvek wrote: Then I go back to godaddy to change the nameservers for mydomain.com to (custom) ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com
But..... I gives me what it calls an "unavailable error" and my nameservers remain godaddy defaults. Have you checked that your nameserver works correctly? Easy to do with dig: Code: dig @ns1.mydomain.com mydomain.com NS |

godaddy doesnt know how to map your ns1.mydomain.com to an ip. There is a section in the 'Domain details' called 'Domain Host Summary' just for that. |
