DNS and the B(L)IND

·

I recently changed my domain to this server. Everything went well except for the pain on the behind that was the DNS. After wating more than 72 hours for the TLDs to update (with no sucess), I had to change the DNS server where my domain was registred (again). Another problem I came across was with my ISP’s secondary DNS server. It had a different records than the primary name server, so once in a while I got no access to my mail accounts. Once I flushed the DNS cache everthing went fine, but minutes later I got the wrong ip adress AGAIN.

Now everything seems to be working fine, but I decided to catch up on some reading to refresh my knowledge on DNS. I found a very nice link collection on Linux Journal, check it out.
