Hello!
I’m fairly new to all of this and have been following lots of guides. The guide I followed for this was http://www.servermom.org/how-to-install-and-setup-bind9-on-ubuntu-server/136/ .
Basically I successfully set up my first domain (domain1) so it points to ns1.domain1.com and ns2.domain1.com and works perfect.
When I went to set up my second domain (domain2) I added it to my /etc/bind/named.conf.local file with this code:
zone “domain2.com” { type master; file “/etc/bind/zones/domain2.com.db”; };
Then I went to edit the db file which is this code:
zone “wakeupontop.com” { type master; file “/etc/bind/zones/wakeupontop.com.db”; };
; BIND data file for domain.com ; $TTL 14400 @ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. host.domain.com. ( 201006601 ; Serial 7200 ; Refresh 120 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800) ; Default TTL ; domain.com. IN NS ns1.domain.com. domain.com. IN NS ns2.domain.com.
domain.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain.com. domain.com. IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ns1 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ns2 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www IN CNAME domain.com. mail IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ftp IN CNAME domain.com. domain.com. IN TXT “v=spf1 ip4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx a mx ~all” mail IN TXT “v=spf1 a -all”
My question is… How do I edit the DB file. Where do I put domain2 and domain1?
I really appreciate the help!

zone “wakeupontop.com” { <br>type master; <br>file “/etc/bind/zones/wakeupontop.com.db”; <br>}; <br> <br>that is not in the DB code… I accidentally put that on my post :\ cant figure out how to take it off.
Check your /etc/bind/named.conf.local file and in the zones section make it look like this. <br><pre>zone “domain1.com” { <br>type master; <br>file “/etc/bind/zones/domain1.com.db”; <br>}; <br> <br>zone “domain2.com” { <br>type master; <br>file “/etc/bind/zones/domain2.com.db”; <br>};</pre> <br> <br>Now go to /etc/bind/zones and create the find domain2.com.db and add the following. ns1 and ns2 are from domain1. <br><pre>; BIND data file for domain2.com <br>; <br>$TTL 14400 <br>@ IN SOA ns1.domain1.com. host.domain1.com. ( <br>201006601 ; Serial <br>7200 ; Refresh <br>120 ; Retry <br>2419200 ; Expire <br>604800) ; Default TTL <br>; <br>domain2.com. IN NS ns1.domain1.com. <br>domain2.com. IN NS ns2.domain1.com. <br> <br>domain2.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain2.com. <br>domain2.com. IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <br> <br>ns1 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <br>ns2 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <br>www IN CNAME domain2.com. <br>mail IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <br>ftp IN CNAME domain2.com. <br>domain.com. IN TXT “v=spf1 ip4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx a mx ~all” <br>mail IN TXT “v=spf1 a -all”<pre>
