 Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me help my ISP. As per earlier directions from 
Amrit, I contacted my ISP & asked them to set up an rDNS for my home 
webserver. Below you'll note that the tech guy requested info for the .free 
TLD Tier1 server. I gave this to him but is this the info he really needs? As 
you can see below, he was unable to set up the rDNS for me using that server 
info. Can anyone tell what he was doing wrong? I think Amrit felt this was 
the issue after seeing the nslookup results that are far below. 
I just switched to a small local ISP, who gave me a static ip & are quite 
willing to help me (though they may be lacking the technical know-how), so 
the answer wouldn't be to switch my ISP again.
 

Dale

The system won’t allow us to enter this in:
 
The name 202.83.95.229 can not be assigned to 50.0.97.146 because 
202.83.95.229 currently points to 202.83.95.229. 202.83.95.229 must point to 
50.0.97.146.
 
We don’t have anyone here who would be able to setup something like this for 
you, you would have to look elsewhere unfortunately for guidance on the 
issue.

Hi David,

If the rDNS needs to be the .free TLD Tier1 server at opennic, then yes that 
would be correct. 
Is this the missing link that will allow surfers to find my server when they 
try to go to freespeech.free? Also, if things are set up properly on your end 
but people still can't connect to freespeech.free, could I pay a service fee 
to have someone troubleshoot my server settings?

 

Dale

So for clarification, you would like me to set your rDNS to 202.83.95.229 
correct?

Tech support,


First I would like to say thanks to the tech support guy who helped me on 
Tuesday. I think his name was David, but I owe him a beer anyway. 


Per David's request, this e-mail's purpose is to give you the Tier1 servers 
for opennic.glue, so that people trying to reach my home webserver at 
freespeech.free can find it. Actually I only see one server for the .free 
TLD, which is called ns21, is at ip address 202.83.95.229, & the admin is 
Julian De Marchi. If you really need a secondary, I would go with server ns5 
at 128.177.28.254. (and in case you need it, my static ip is 50.0.97.146) I 
got this info from this address: wiki.opennicproject.org/Tier1
Let me know if you need anything else (nslookup & system file info is below),

It would appear that your reverse host record is controlled by your ISP. You 
have to ask them to give you a RDNS ((and subsequently a static ip). As for 
your forward lookup zone, try 
running 'bind-checkzone <zone name> <zone file>' that usually shows any zone 
configuration syntax errors that may be lingering. (also bind-checkconf is 
also 
a very valuable tool for checking your bind.conf and included files). And if 
all 
else fails, try enabling logging (specifically all the logging channels, 
including the debug) and see what bind spits out when it starts up
 
Thanks
