[cobalt-users] name server trouble #2

["Florian Effenberger" <uhoo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am a little bit confused about the nameserver. I have a Cobalt RaQ3
with all patches installed (including the OS Update #3 and the All
Kernel 1.1 Update). The only package I have installed additionally is
the POP-before-Relay 1.2 package.

I want my site, http://www.uhoo.de, to be reachable by the following
ways:

1. http://www.uhoo.de and http://uhoo.de is for the virtual site
'www.uhoo.de'.

2. uhoo.de should also be accessible by FTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP4, ...
services.

3. The subdomain http://webhosting.uhoo.de should be an independent
site with independent web and e-mail accounts (e.g.
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is different from support@xxxxxxx).

4. ns1.uhoo.de and ns2.uhoo.de are on the same machine and act as name
servers. I have an IP address an another network for the ns2.

5. ns1.uhoo.de and ns2.uhoo.de should not be accessible via e-mail,
FTP, HTTP, POP3, IMAP4, SMTP.

My IP addresses are: 212.84.253.16 - 212.84.253.23. I have chosen
212.84.253.16 to be ns1, 212.84.253.17 to be the site www.uhoo.de and
webhosting.uhoo.de and 212.84.253.18 should be the IP for the most of
our customers. 212.84.194.198 is for ns2.

I have created the following sites:
The server itself is: IP 212.84.253.16, Host Name server1, Domain
uhoo.de, Accept Email NO, Web Access NO
ns1.uhoo.de: IP 212.84.253.16, Host Name ns1, Domain uhoo.de, Accept
Email NO, Web Access NO
ns2.uhoo.de, IP 212.84.194.198, Host Name ns2, Domain uhoo.de, Accept
Email NO, Web Access NO
www.uhoo.de: IP 212.84.253.17, Host Name www, Domain uhoo.de, Accept
Email YES, Web Access YES
webhosting.uhoo.de: IP 212.84.253.17, Host Name www, Domain uhoo.de,
Accept Email YES, Web Access YES

I have the following configuration in my name server:
uhoo.de (A Record) 212.84.253.17
ns1.uhoo.de (A Record) 212.84.253.16
ns2.uhoo.de (A Record) 212.84.194.198
webhosting.uhoo.de (A Record) 212.84.253.17
www.uhoo.de (A Record) 212.84.253.17
uhoo.de (Mail is sent to high priority server) www.uhoo.de

So far, it seems to be ok. However, ns1.uhoo.de and ns2.uhoo.de are
accessible via HTTP (I don't want that). server1.uhoo.de (server name)
is not, exactly as I wanted it. On some sites (e.g.
webhosting.uhoo.de) I had to turn of web and e-mail access because
otherwise the server didn't let me create the virtual site.
And it seems that the setting web and e-mail access is generally
ignored (e.g. on ns1)?!

I also had to enter webhosting.uhoo.de as host/domain alias in the
email server configuration through the GUI.

Is all that normal? What can I do to achieve the things I wanted (see
beginning of the e-mail)? :-)

Sorry if the information is very ugly, but I am a complete newbie in
name server and I hope that you can help me. If you need anything else
(e.g. a diagnostic file), please let me know.

Sincerely yours and thank you very much in advance,
Florian
