Bind wouldn't let me save the A record as www. I'm still not clear on what you're trying to do. Perhaps if you explain what you're wanting to achieve by this, I or someone else can tell you how to go about doing it. > Does the last part: > > client 67.35.73.178#32774: received notify for zone 'danielcproductions.net' All that means is that your backup name server acknowledged a message from your main name server that there has been an update made to your zone. > > Mean that the zone works properly now? And what does it mean, ignoreing out > of zone data www? did I brake something? Without seeing line 18 of your zone file, or better yet, the whole zone file, I couldn't tell you. What it does mean though, is that something is not right in the zone. One of the things I said in that long reply that got held by the list software, was that I have the impression that you haven't really read up on bind. Reading your last couple of posts, I'm fairly certain of that being correct. My suggestion to you would be to stop right there, get a good understanding of how bind, zones, and dns work, and then pick up from where you are now. While I understand that you're eager to get your domain setup, I do think that it's better to understand how things fit together now, rather than having to figure it out in a hurry somewhere down the road, because your dns setup isn't working the way it's supposed to, and your domain is gone off the net until you get the problem solved. My personal feeling is that while tools like webmin/webadmin are good for making quick changes to something that already works, I don't think they have what it takes to do admin work on a system from the get-go, like the various wizards in the other popular os do.
