Godaddy does not accept my Linode DNS server
But when I set it as the DNS server of my newly registered domain, Godaddy emailed me:
Error: pendmod: name server pending addition: Authorization failed: li5-151.members.linode.com.;
Does Godaddy require reverse DNS to work? I know that I should ask Godaddy but I feel this forum can provide faster answers.
I have the following zone entry in my named.conf:
–-------------------------------------------------
zone "example.com" IN {
type master;
file "/var/named/example.hosts";
allow-query { any; };
};
And my example.hosts has this:
$ttl 38400
example.com. IN SOA ns.example.com. holden.anotherserver.com.ph. (
1079177469
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
example.com. IN NS ns.example.com.
example.com. IN MX 10 mail
;
example.com. A 65.19.178.151
*.example.com. A 65.19.178.151
note: example.com is not my real domain.
I read the DNS howto at tldp.org for the setup above. Did I forget any parameter required? In the DNS howto, there was a 'notify no;' parameter is there a 'notify yes;' or is it on by default? Or is there a special thing to do on a UML host like the Reverse DNS talked about in this forum?
I appreciate your help.

You need to register your name servers.
Godaddy should provide a mechanism for doing this.
This binds something like ns1.domain.com to an IP
So the the root nameservers knows where to find your dns servers.

I finally found the interface. It is called "Total DNS Control" and it can be accessed by clicking on my domain name after logging-in. What confused me was that after logging-in what I immediately saw was the "manage nameservers" button. It would have helped if that page had a link to "Total DNS Control".
I am not sure yet that I can now use my own DNS server because after making the necessary changes with "Total DNS Control" the changes did not immediately reflect on the default nameservers. I used dig to check it out.
I'll post more later.
Thank you for your reply.

Changing nameserver configuration takes time. Usually, DNS providers don't update their servers instantly, but only generate the zone files periodically from whatever database you modifiy via the webtool. Once that's done, you still won't necessarily see the changes everywhere, because name servers cache extensively. Expect it to take few days for changes to percolate through the internet.
If you know that you're going to make change soon, you can reduce the TTL (Time To Live) for the affected zones so that when you do make a change, it will get through quicker. Do NOT reduce the TTL just because you might make a change someday, though, and remember to increase it back to normal once the change is made.
Thank you for all the replies.
