Dear Matt,

Been using the DNS build which is good. We have a domain test.com.au which we have setup with blocks, subnets host entries etc. The thing I want to achieve is

nslookup test.com.au localhost

Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Name: test.com.au
Address: 192.168.0.1

Instead I get

*** Can't find test.com.au: No answer

So I added in com.au and gave it a subnet and created a primary master ns for it which I added into the record.
I then set the com.au as master to test.com.au
I then added a record
test.com.au IN CNAME ns.test.com.au
Ran the build. This did not show up.
Deleted the CNAME and added an A record
test.com.au IN A <ns.test.com.au IP address>
Ran the build. This did not show up

I am at a loss as to how to achieve this

What I was able to do is setup an MX record
test.com.au IN MX 10 ns.test.com.au
Ran the build. This showed up which was good.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely

David Ruwoldt

If you can, will you post the zone data that it does create for you? I'm not sure I fully understand what you have/dont have set up. It sounds like you are close to what you should have though. Having the output will help me to see what more needs to be added etc.

Thanks.
