Re: [cobalt-users] Want to enable DNS for mIRC (BNC) Server But...

Last time I did this I crashed the data-center
that stores my RAQ.  I goofed on the DNS settings
and re-routed all the traffic to my site accidentally.

Security on their part.  Their fault.

I have 2 IP per say:
1. xx.xx.xx.25
2. xx.xx.xx.26

I have 25 that is by itself the "myactualdomain.com" site.
I have 26 that is shared among other sites for virtual hosting.

I use register.com / or mydomain.com to handle my DNSes and I have
the DNS disabled on my RAQ.  I use IP Pointing.

I have ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com (they are real not a sample)

I use IP->pointing to my Ips...

When I login with mIRC to my BNC on the server I login via
me@xxxxxxxxxxx

I would like to say me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

BNC is NOT A SPOOFER. It's a bouncer.  In order to make it work, (based
on
what I read). I have to:

"you have to configure forward and reverse dns on your static ip's for
the dns
to show up on irc."

Right now I have under DNS Settings for 65.170.xx.X the following 2 IPs
that I have:

65.170.xx.25/24      www.myactualdomain.com
65.170.xx.26/24      www.myactualdomain.com

===Do I need to "ADD"
*Address (A) Record?
*Add Reverse Address (PTR) Record?
*Alias CName?
*Add Secondary Name Service for Domain?
*Add Secondary Name Service for Network?

I would have to go to register.com or who-ever I bought the domain from
and
have the ns1., and ns2., changed from "mydomain.com" to
"ns1.myactualdomain.com"?
or have it point to the datacenter the RAQ is located at?:

Which the thing is:
Primary DNS:    65.170.79.2
Secondary DNS:  65.170.79.3

This would than point to ns1.serverra**.net / ns2.serverra**.net

I tried figuring few things out by reading a little of DNS & BIND by
OReilly but
that's more confusing because I have to do things via GUI on the RAQ.

I haven't use mIRC in years but I would like to have the option to have
*@host.com and not
IP.


Nicolae, chances are slim that you have the ability to do the reverse. You would have to ask you isp to do it for you.
