DNS/BIND brain melting....

[robbo007]

Hello all,

Bind and DNS has always been a hard one for me so please let me know if I'm on the right track.

I have a ISPCP server on my home ADSL network. I have a fixed IP address with my ADSL connection. My router has ports TCP 21,22,53 25 open and UDP 53. All pointing to my debian (lenny) box on the LAN.

I have two domains registered with my ISP and there nameserver entries are pointing to my debian box to resolve.

I installed ISPCP with domain.ltd and used the admin.domain.ltd when running the setup scripts.

In my /var/cache/bind directory I have the .db from both domains.

Things that are not working are:

domain2.ltd does not resolve its virtual domain. EG it resolved the ispcp logon screen and not the content from the website located in /htdoc.

If I ping domain2.ltd from internet its resolved the correct ADSL external IP address of my debian box but does not resolve the website...

When I ping my ns1.domain1.ltd from the Internet I get a reply with the local IP address and not the external ADSL one.

Domain1.ltd seems to have a bind database as with the admin sub domain added:

Exodus:/var/cache/bind# cat admin.domain1.ltd.db
