[cobalt-users] DNS server problem ?

[Andre Levasseur <leon24@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello cobalt-users,

My DNS server setup is not working on my RA4I.
Here is what i have done:


I bought a mynameserver.com and my registrar set this up:
ns1.mynameserver.com 123.12.123.1
ns2.mynameserver.com 123.12.123.2 (the second ip i got from Rackshack)
By the way, mynameserver.com points to my registrar DNS ns1.registrar.com 
(don't know if i need to change this to my own DNS)

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
   


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


In "Network" 
Sun Cobalt Server Name: ns1   
   Domain Name: localhost (if i put mynameserver.com here it says that it exists as a virtual site)
   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 


I did a ping test and it's alive and with the right IP's
Been jerking around like this for 4 days !!!!!!!!!!!

Anything you could think of even if you think it's stupid might help a
"desperate newbie"
Thanks
