Hostname as nameserver

Hi all,

When I create a virtual server thru Virtualmin the aserver is created without any errors. However in DNS records I see that my hostname (server1.mydomain.com), not the nameservers I created (ns1.mydomain.com) is assigned as the primary nameserver to the created domain.

Here is the DNS record:

$ttl 38400
@  IN  SOA server1.mydomain.com. root.server1.mydomain.com. (
            1349890177
            10800
         3600
          604800
            38400 )
createddomain.com. IN  NS  ns2.mydomain.com.
createddomain.com.   IN  A   141.0.169.249
www.createddomain.com.   IN  A   141.0.169.249
ftp.createddomain.com.   IN  A   141.0.169.249
m.createddomain.com. IN  A   141.0.169.249
localhost.createddomain.com. IN  A   127.0.0.1
webmail.createddomain.com.   IN  A   141.0.169.249
admin.createddomain.com. IN  A   141.0.169.249
mail.createddomain.com.  IN  A   141.0.169.249
createddomain.com.   IN  MX  5 mail.createddomain.com.
createddomain.com.   IN  TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:createddomain.com ip4:141.0.169.249 ~all

Thanks for the assistance

Howdy,

Well, it's not likely to cause any problems... however, I believe it's assigning that name based on the value of System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default -> BIND DNS Domain -> Master DNS server hostname.

It will use your system's hostname by default, but you can change that to ns1.domain.com if you prefer.

Thanks for the response Eric

I thought this is some mistake I made when I created master dns zone. These are the A records I have:

 

Name  TTL Address
   server1.mydomain.com.   Default xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
    ns1.mydomain.com.   Default xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
    ns2.mydomain.com.   Default xxx.xx.xxx.xxx

These are the NS records:

 
   Name   TTL Name Server
   server1.mydomain.com.   Default ns1.mydomain.com.
 server1.mydomain.com.   Default ns2.mydomain.com.

Are these all ok?
