BIND 1

[alidon]

I'm going to host my own DNS.

I don't know how, though I bought the Bind book.

Shaw @Home sees my host as hxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.ed.shawcable.net, although I call it myhostname.mydomain.com (for example). So there is going to be a issue with reverse lookups.

I have build a name.conf, and all accompanying files. But it still doesn't work.

Have you registered your domain at a public registrar?

 

[alidon]

Yes, it's registered. I check it a network solutions, whois, and it's there.

 

[pmkincaid]

Within the whois, are the DNS Servers within the lookup pointing to your DNS box that you are creating? Or are they pointing somewhere else?

If you're running this on the Internet and not a private network, you can't host the reverse lookups for your machine unless you have at least your own Class C network. If this isn't the case, you'll have to get your ISP to add your reverses for you which most will do at no charge. If you are authoritative for your reverses or it's on a private network, post your named.conf and your zone file and I should be able to tell you where the problem is.
