My domain is not working

Hi all,

Sorry if this question has been asked before…

I've just bought Linode account this month.

I've set up a domain (xyz.com) for my account pointing to my IP (aaa.bbb.cc.ddd) offered by Linode.

By checking the status of my domain on Linode, everything works fine:

Your zone looks good!

zone xyz.com/IN: loaded serial 2016102818

OK

I've verified somewhere…

$ host aaa.bbb.cc.ddd

ddd.cc.bbb.aaa.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer lixxxx-yyy.members.linode.com.

Why my IP is not pointing to my domain ? Please help.

TIA

NKTech

You need to set up Reverse DNS, which you can do by following the link on the Remote Access tab of the Linode.

Thanks for your quick reply. But…

In A/AAA Records, I have these:

server -> my IP

www -> my IP

When looking up in Remote Access tab => Reverse DNS, I've got this:

Perform a forward lookup

Hostname : server.xyz.com

• No match was found for 'server.xyz.com'. Reverse DNS must have a matching forward entry that points to one of your IPs.

What am I missing ?

post your real domain and IP and people will be able to better help you. DNS is public information anyway.

Ok, Ok… Now I poste my zone dump file:

; ns1.nktechcambodia.com [888858]

$TTL 86400

@ IN SOA ns1.linode.com. tk.gmail.com. 2016103014 14400 14400 1209600 86400

@ NS ns1.linode.com.

@ NS ns2.linode.com.

@ NS ns3.linode.com.

@ NS ns4.linode.com.

@ NS ns5.linode.com.

@ MX 10 mail.nktechcambodia.com.

@ A 139.162.58.107

ftp.nktechcambodia.com A 139.162.58.107

mail.nktechcambodia.com A 139.162.58.107

server.nktechcambodia.com A 139.162.58.107

www.nktechcambodia.com A 139.162.58.107

@ AAAA 2400:8901::f03c:91ff:fea1:f2ef

ftp.nktechcambodia.com AAAA 2400:8901::f03c:91ff:fea1:f2ef

mail.nktechcambodia.com AAAA 2400:8901::f03c:91ff:fea1:f2ef

server.nktechcambodia.com AAAA 2400:8901::f03c:91ff:fea1:f2ef

www.nktechcambodia.com AAAA 2400:8901::f03c:91ff:fea1:f2ef

When doing Check zone:

Your zone looks good!

zone ns1.nktechcambodia.com/IN: ns1.nktechcambodia.com/MX 'mail.nktechcambodia.com' (out of zone) has no addresses records (A or AAAA)

zone ns1.nktechcambodia.com/IN: loaded serial 2016103014

OK

Why out of zone for mail.nktechcambodia.com, I've already declared it ?

When doing Remote Access » Reverse DNS:

Perform a forward lookup

Hostname: server.nktechcambodia.com

• No match was found for 'server.nktechcambodia.com'. Reverse DNS must have a matching forward entry that points to one of your IPs.

Why Reverse DNS is also not working ? What are missing ?

Thanks for your help.

nktechcambodia.com isn't in the whois database. Check with your domain registrar, something is awry there.
