DNS problems (does not answer back on one single domainname)

Community Support

Hi there my hestia server does not answer dns requests one one of my domains

it did work at a time but now no matter what i do it does not return the ip address
all the others works fine

P.s. the server only acts as dns on my local network

i have tject the named.conf and the zone but all look ok so it updates the zones and config but there something holding the spesific domain name back
if i create another domain with another name that one works

if have tried to delete the user /domain/dns and created it again but the same issue

Help !!!

What about the syslog? You’ll find relevant log entries there, you can grep them easiely with: cat /var/log/syslog | grep domain.tld

/var/log/syslog | tail

i have created two domians under the same user
doamin1.com and domain2.com but only one of them returns an answer from the dns

DNS problems are usually easy to resolve. Is there a chance we could have your real domains so we could take a closer look at whats going on? I mean, there is no real reason to hide your domains when posting outputs like dig etc.

what the point in that when the domains are only on a local network ???

6

So there is no fix for this problem ??

It sounds like a local issue, infact we cant access your server (and aswell also dont offer paid support), you would need to provide us more informations and details for your issue. Usualy dns isnt complicated, it just loads the zone files from /home/user/conf/dns/ and thats it.

I am not a DNS expert by any stretch of the definition. So this may not be helpful at all, but something I recently had to go through to get my DNS working. I have 3 domains, but the “main” one that is registered as a nameserver through my domain registrar would not work.

  1. Registrar has ns1/2.domain1.tld registered for my servers IP
  2. All 3 domains have ns1/2.domain1.tld set for their authoritative nameserver with Registrar
  3. Hestia default setup for DNS on domain1.tld (automatically creates NS records for ns1/2)
  4. Had to manually create A records in Hestia DNS for ns1/2 on domain1.tld

did you just add an A record for ns1.server.lt 10.10.10.10 and it worked ??

In my case, I created an A Record for ns1 and ns2 with the public IP of the server (with my ethernet setup, its the only IP registered in HCP so the only one in the drop-down)

For hosting name servers you will normally need 2 ip adressen and prefable in 2 different subnets
