I am trying to figure out what to do about my Zimbra server's DNS.
According the Zimrba wiki they recommend that I install a copy of something like BIND on the server itself so Zimbra can handle the internal queries made by postfix.
So I went and install BIND9 and got my zone running, the zone is solignis.com
. Now here is where it get confusing.
I already have a BIND9 server running on my network that is responsible for the same domain solignis.com
. But that server is the "network" DNS the other one on Zimbra is for Zimbra ONLY.
But when I go the Zimbra host and try to ping the other server (NS01) it says its an unknown host
. even though I have forwarding enabled to the main DNS server. Follow me?
So I have a multi part question.
- Is the best way to setup DNS for my needs (as per Zimbra)?
- Assuming #1 is true, is there a way to force BIND to forward queries for a domain its responsible for to another server?
