BIND problem
I've been playing around with BIND and doing quite some reading today to set it up for a domain. I had it working (except RDNS), tried to add some subdomains and broke it. I then removed what I thought I'd added in, and it still won't work; the domain cannot resolve
here's my named.conf file:
options {
directory "/var/bind";
statistics-file "/var/named/named.stats";
dump-file "/var/named/named.dump";
zone-statistics yes;
listen-on-v6 { none; };
listen-on { 67.18.186.192; };
listen-on { 67.18.186.193; };
notify yes; // notify the above IP's when a zone is updated
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
transfer-format many-answers;
};
zone "crispycrisp.org" IN {
type master;
file "personal/crispycrisp.org";
};
zone "186.18.67.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "reverse/186.18.67.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};
zone "127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "pri/127.zone";
};
here's my crispycrisp.zone file:
$TTL 600
; crispycrisp.org
@ IN SOA 67.18.186.192\. admin.crispycrisp.org. (
2008010802 ; serial number YYMMDDNN

Any idea what I've done wrong? I don't see what is wrong with it.
Thanks

2) The MNAME should be the name of your primary DNS server, not an IP address. The page I referenced explains about the dot on the end. Also, an IP address does not end in a dot.
3) NS records should be a FQDN Details
4) Your 186.18.67.in-addr.arpa reverse zone won't do anything if ThePlanet probably isn't delegating rDNS to you. You need to set up the forward DNS correctly then use the Linode Platform Manager to set up rDNS.
BTW: Did you do a find/replace on the domain name for privacy or is that really the domain you are trying to set up? Because it's not registered yet. I have avoided the urge to register it and sell it to you for $1,000 thus far.

And thanks for the info RE: RDNS, I've worked that out, but I need my 2 nameservers and DNS working before I can sort that out, so I've removed the file and the lines from named.conf that deal with that. Any help on the above?
Just waiting for my RDNS to refresh, hopefully that will go smoothly. Thanks for your help =)
