When you register your domain (domain.com/ca) you will have to specify which DNS servers will have the zone of authority (ZOA, IIRC). Whatever that server specifies is what will go. I do not believe you -have- to tell Istop, as they should see that domain as a seperate entity from what they have recorded (jay.tor.istop.com). You can have multiple DNS names for one machine. All this said, please differ if someone answers with more authority than I. Madison Jay wrote:
Hi all...
Several months ago I asked for recommendations on an ISP that will allow you to run a server of the connection. I eventually chose istop.com. Now I have a DNS question. My IP resolved to jay.tor.istop.com.Now my questions :-)
Do I ask them to change that to my hostname (hostname.domain.ca).
When I purchase my domain, do I set up the DNS information to point to the istop nameserver, or do I point it to my server and run (for example) Bind?
Thanks

okay, for my DNS registration I have the following options Primary DNS Host: Primary DNS IP: Secondary DNS Host: Secondary DNS IP: 3... 4.. It tells me I need at least 2. Should I fill them both out with the same information both pointing to my machine/IP. Thats what I did? I also asked istop to change from jay.tor.istop.com to hostname.domain.ca Nowhere does it ask for ZOA or anything like that? I assume that is when I set up the DNS on my machine with BIND or whatever software? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Madison Kelly" <linux-5ZoueyuiTZhBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org> To: <tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org> Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003 12:24 PM Subject: Re: [TLUG]: Help With Home Server
