I am using bind9 on a dedicated vps with ip: xx.xx.xx.xx

And i have vps server with webserver and its ip: yy.yy.yy.yy

Question: it is correct to point nameservers, e.g. ns1.domain.com/ns2.domain.com to bind9 server with following ip: xx.xx.xx.xx then on bind9 server create a zone file with a following values:

; BIND data file for domain.com
;
;$TTL 14400
$TTL 3600
@ IN SOA dns1.domain.com. srv.domain.com. (
2014241000 ; Serial
7200 ; Refresh
120 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800) ; Default TTL
;
@ IN NS dns1.domain.com.
@ IN NS dns2.domain.com.

@ IN MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
@ IN MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
@ IN MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
@ IN MX 10 ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
@ IN MX 10 ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

mail IN CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com.

@ IN A yy.yy.yy.yy

dns1 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
dns2 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
www IN A yy.yy.yy.yy
ftp IN A yy.yy.yy.yy
@ IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:yy.yy.yy.yy include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:_spf.google.com ?all"

In a short: pointing nameserver (ns1,ns2) to bind (DNS server) then pointing bind to another server (webserver without bind).

Yes, this will work. You will need to make sure that the glue records are in place with your domain registry. This is explained in more detail and with examples here.

  • Thanks, but your link gave me an error. How can i check glue records? – Alexander Kim Feb 25 '15 at 08:52

    Martin, reread the question, particularly the line "*pointing nameserver to bind then pointing bind to another server*". As I understand it, the OP wants to re-delegate the zone *without* altering the glue records, and I don't think that's possible. – MadHatter Feb 25 '15 at 08:52
  • @MadHatter, so it won't work in my case? What's the point of bind server on a dedicated server? – Alexander Kim Feb 25 '15 at 09:17
  • Just as Martin says, you point your glue records at it, and it serves your zone. By the way, it's **completely** pointless to redact the zone in this question, as nameservers and the RRs they serve are a matter of public record. If you go back and edit your zone into your question, it may help us get to an answer more quickly. – MadHatter Feb 25 '15 at 09:47
