Question

I have a problem when I want to host my nameserver inside local network.

I have a registered domain (example.com).

I want to host the nameserver of “local.example.com” inside my local network.

I want The nameserver in my local network to define the records for “local.example.com”.

I set The NS record for the “local.example.com” to “ns-local.example.com”.

The IP of “ns-local.example.com” is “192.168.1.243”.

I defined The NS record of local.example.com in the public DNS of the domain “example.com” like the follwoing:

local IN NS ns-local.example.com.

ns-local IN A 192.168.1.243

We have a separated recursive DNS server in our LAN, which we can not use for any authoritative DNS server.

I Set the A record for local.example.com in “ns-local.example.com” to “192.168.1.10”.

When I ping the local.example.com, it resolves to 67.215.66.132 (servfail.guide.opendns.com)!!!!

When I run the command “dig local.example.com +trace” inside my local network I get the correct result (“192.168.1.10” for A record).

All nameservers use BIND.

thank you in advance for your help

Answer 1

So performing dig local.example.com +trace bypasses your internal recursive DNS server completely.

What response do you get when you just run dig local.example.com (this will use your internal DNS server)?
