Any DNS/BIND peoples out there?

I'm setting up a hosting situation (and learning bind in the process). I've got everything up and running, but there are a few quirks.

www.foo.org works, but not foo.org. Is there a specific record to fix this? I tried CNAMEs for "."s but that doesn't work. Here is my forward zone for the domain:

Code: 
; forward zone records for foo.com
; created 1-27-04
;
; modified 1-30-04

$TTL    86400
@       IN      SOA     cecil.tkfast.com. admin.tkfast.com. (
                        15      ; serial
                        8H      ; refresh, seconds
                        2H      ; retry, seconds
                        1W      ; expire, seconds
                        1D )    ; minimum, seconds

                IN      NS      cecil.tkfast.com.
                IN      NS      elmer.tkfast.com.

foo.com.     IN      MX  10  mail.foo.com.

cecil           86400   A       68.110.221.208
ns              86400   A       68.110.221.208

marvin          86400   A       68.110.221.209

www             86400   CNAME   marvin.foo.com.

ftp             86400   A       68.110.221.209

mail            86400   A       68.110.221.209

i muddle my way through bind, so i'm by no means knowlegeable. but i think there is a way to add a wildcard entry to point at marvin. but that could just be coming out of my ass too.

i would edit that zone to decrease the TTL to 14400 max if not 600 seconds. Also, the setting you are looking for is not in bind, it's in the httpd.conf file for the server. Check the serveralias line for that domain.

She can summon...I was naughty and actually went and personally requested his presence.

Steve, I don't think Mirlyn's been back yet...he's not one of the every hour posters :)

Awesome....I got it working. :headbang:

I added a CNAME to the domain and fixed apache as you said and it works like a charm. :thumbup: Will go back and change the TTLs...do those get transfered with the request? Could this have to do with client machines that are having trouble getting to the sites (probably seeing a high TTL and caching as such)?

Thanks ya!

Well.......I wouldn't go that far......;) But I'll stop before the evil work finds my idle time here. :D They're quite good at fixing my idle time. :mad: ;)

if you had more books, binders, stacks, and half assembled computers on your desk they'd probably never bother you again. ;)

But I've got two rooms of that....all I have on my desk is papers and CDs. I've already got four monitors and only two computers in my office (and the two are on a KVM). Bastards. They're always one step ahead of me. :hmm:
