Hello,
Should your primary nameserver have the same IP address as the domain it is using:
Say domain is test.com should ns.testing.com have the same IP address as test.com since it is the primary DNS server?
The reason for the question is I am able to ping my ip address and my ns1.test.com fine. But ping test.com fails.
I was thinking that I am able to ping my ns1.test.com because ns1.test.com has my nameserver ip and is the only hosts in my host file besides localhost.
Because I only have one ip address the hosts file will not allow the same ip for different host.
Some one told me to try to bind my domain through eth0.
Don't know if this will resolve the problem with not being able to ping test.com successfully.
Is 'route add -host x.x.x.x eth0' the correct command?
