Sorry about that let me explain it. let me explain it too you clearly. i want a dns server on which i can provide names to my local web applications instead of accessing them with ip address. but few of my applicaion is running on ssl.

 here is my problem:
my vps name is vps1.solutionsbeyond.local where my local web app. are hosted.  and i am trying to install and configure the dns server on vps with name vps.solutionsbeyond.local  no how do i provide sub domains like test.solutionsbeyond.local and test2.solutionsbeyond.local along with the primary domain name solutionsbeyond.local and more over my mail server is not on the same vps1.solutionsbeyons.local where my websites are hosted. how can i provide a domain name to that server and point my mx record to that. and i want https://101.168.1.2:8080 to be typed as https://test1.solutionsbeyond.local how can i do so.

 i am tottaly new to the bind and how to configure the dns entries on the linux server. so plz provide details too the solutions. thanks

 

by: fosiul01Posted on 2009-04-17 at 02:52:07ID: 24166145

Ok lets start from easy one

https://101.168.1.2:8080 to be typed as https://test1.solutionsbeyond.local    :

https:// its nothign to with Dns, because you normaly access your server http://test1.solutionbeyound.local

to access it http://test1.solutionbeyound.local , you need to implement ssl in your apache with port number 443 and have to install openssl  ( thats a differetn question)


about Dns server

vps.solutionsbeyond.local
test2.solutionsbeyond.local
test.solutionsbeyond.local

in the zone file for solutionbeyoundlocal,
you just need to add this

test2  IN IP_Of_server
test    IN IP_of_Server

have you configured your dns server with proper zone file ??
if you type ping solutionbeyound.local from any pc, does it ping to proper server ??

 

by: serveradminPosted on 2009-04-22 at 23:06:19ID: 24212145

nope not till now i havn't created ay zone file till now can u plz explain it also how to create zone file and   i also want to know how to site  solutionsbeyond.local on vps1 and test.solutionsbeyond.local on vps2 as explaind in your your ans. i can only see test2 and test1 configured there. no sign of main doamin where its pointing too.
