DNS question with stealth dns

[ericjl000]

I want to point peoples domains to SB dns servers, but want to make my machine the master... how would i go about doing this? i have linix with ensim. i would prefer not to have to add my box ip to 20 different registers and have to wait for everything to propagate...

This is just like setting up normal master/slave zones, but your master never gets listed as a nameserver, and you need to make sure the SOA/NS records reflect this.

1. Create the zones on your server.
2. Make sure you have "ns1.geodns.net" in the SOA. You also need the following NS records:

yourdomain.com. IN NS ns1.geodns.net.
yourdomain.com. IN NS ns2.geodns.net.

3. Add the domain to the DNS Tool as a "Slave" with the IP address of your server as the master.
4. Stir well. Wait 1 hour.

didn't work... do i need to make the master DNS ns1.geodns.net on the server for the Name Servers?

Can you post one of the domains and the IP address of your master server?

It looks like your server is refusing transfers. Check your logs for any named errors relating to that domain.

I don't see anything that looks wrong... suggestions?

# grep "zone transfer" /var/log/messages


See if that gives you anything.
