Need help with BIND - DNS configuration

Hi gang,

It seems that I may be having DNS troubles .. I'd like some help if anybody is capable. As a side note, I'd like users to be able to drop the www. in front of the domain and still hit the website .. what do I need to do to accomplish this?

Thanks guys/gals!

Just add an ""A" line with no hostname. You're also going to need to change your httpd.conf (assuming you run apache).

Looks like you need an A record for lactatingbabe.com

I see one for www.lactatingbabe.com not for lactatingbabe.com

That would make lactatingbabe.com.lactatingbabe.com = 209.167.201.6.

You forgot a "." after the domain.

Awesome!

I was not aware that you could have an "A" record without a "prefix"

Thanks for the help guys! It now works.


On another note:

I've been looking into why some people are not able to load my website .. it seems as though my name server ns1.auroraservers.net is not resolving ... odd ...

I changed all of my "times" to lower values because I anticipate an IP address change soon .. and wanted to be prepared. All I did was change the refresh, etc times and the serial numbers for all hosted domains ... I wonder why I would suddenly have troubles?!

If anybody is seriously bored, do you want to look into this with me? :D
