[cobalt-users] Sorry "take 2" DNS SERVER

[Andre Levasseur <leon24@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello cobalt-users,

Sorry guys, i pasted only a fraction of my message so here it is again
(ooooopppsssss)

My DNS server is not working

here is what i have done:


I bought mynameserver.com and my registrar set this up:
ns1.mynameserver.com 123.12.123.1
ns2.mynameserver.com 123.12.123.2
Also mynameserver.com points to ns1.mynameserver.com

1) Went to "Site Management", then "Add virtual Site" 

2) IP Address : 123.12.123.1
   Host Name : NS1 
   Domain Name : mynameserver.com 
   Confirmed New User 

3) IP Address : 123.12.123.2
   Host Name : NS2 
   Domain Name : mynameserver.com 
   Confirmed New User 


4) Under "Control Panel", then "Domain name system";
   
    A) at the top selected add (A) record 
    B) Host Name =   NS1
       Domain Name = mynameserver.com 
       IP Address =  123.12.123.1

    C) Clicked add, add another (A) record 
    D) Host Name =   NS2  
    E) Domain name = mynameserver.com
    F) IP Address =  123.12.123.2
    E) Selected "Add Reverse Address (PTR) Record " 
                    IP Address : 123.12.123.2
                    (24 by default) 
                    Host Name : NS1 
                    Domain Name : mynameserver.com 
    G) Added Another reverese Address PTR:
                   IP Address : 123.12.123.2 
                   (24 by default) 
                   Host Name : NS2 
                   Domain Name : mynameserver.com

  
 ************** Then i got this when i clicked on "update list" ********************

"WARNING!  
Reverse address records with uneven octet network masks 
(i.e. not 8, 16, or 24) require the use of the reverse delegation method 
described in RFC2317 to be functional"
Reboot the system anyways.............

 (By the way "main IP Network Mask " and "Second IP Network Mask " ) What's this ?


Also i have created "users" under "Site management" for Virtual site:
ns1.mynameserver.com and ns2.mynameserver.com


In "Network" 
Sun Cobalt Server Name: Ns1   
   Domain Name: mynameserver.com   
   Primary DNS Server Address : 123.12.123.1  
   Secondary DNS Server Address: 123.12.123.2
  (optional)   
   Default Gateway  (left what was already there)

Below:
"Interface Settings - Network 1" 
  IP Address: 123.12.123.1   
   Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0   
   MAC Address; (left what was already there)

"Interface Settings - Network 2"
Nothing filled 

The old rackshack domain name has been modified also to reflect ns1.mynameserver.com 
and it shows as ns1.localhost.com ????? in my raq4 (and it's not showing up now)
I got another domain pointing to the new DNS and it's not working and i got third
one pointing to ns1.rackshak.net and it's working fine !


Do i have to change something under:
"Start of Authority (SOA) Configuration" ????
Or
"Set Virtual site defaults" ?

Anything thing you could think of even if you think it's stupid might help me out
Thanks !!!
