What you are trying to do is, in principle, quite doable, but I see 4 problems with your zone file snippet. If you post the full zone file I can provide better guidance, but your zone file is totally wrong. A valid zone file (to do what you are trying to do) might look like:
@ IN SOA ns1.example.com. soa.example.com. (
2016010401 ; serial
3600; refresh
600; retry
86400 ; expire
3600 ) ; min TTL
IN NS ns1
IN NS ns2
IN A 33.33.33.33
ns1 IN A 1.1.1.1
ns2 IN A 2.2.2.2
www IN CNAME www.provider.domain.
There are a few important bits here -
Note the "@" as the first character in the zone file - that means that this domain name takes its queue as to what domain name we are referring to from the reference in /etc/named.conf - this allows us to use the identical domain structure for oth domains.
The IN NS nsX records don't have anything at the front - thats because we are setting the NS records for the entire zone. The "nsX" bit is relative addressing - ie equivalnet to ns1.@ = ns1.example.com or ns1.example.net depending on the entry in named.conf
The lines ns1 in A 1.1.1.1 specify the IP address for ns1. This does create a circular reference - ie in order to resolve ns1.example.com you need to know the ip address for the nameserver example.com, which needs to know ns1.example.com. Bind can figure this out for itself - but the rest of the Internet can't - for this reason you need to specify IP addresses and domains with the registrar when registering the domain [so a "Glue" record can be created in the root/parent nameservers]
Note tht if you specify something like
smtp.example.com IN A 20.20.20.20 this will not work as expected. THe correct way to do this is "smtp.example.com. IN A 20.20.20.20" (note the ." character - if you leave it out, Bind will interpret you to mean smtp.example.com.example.com
For the sake of completeness, you do, of-course, need to specify the zone file in /etc/named.conf or equivalent. You do this as follows:
zone "example.com"
{
type master;
file "/path/to/zone.file";
};
zone "example.net"
{
type master;
file "/path/to/zone.file";
};
This would make domain 1 have name servers ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com and domain 2 have ns1.example.net and ns2.example.net. Is it not possible for domain 2 to also use the same name servers as domain 1? – user72718271 – 2016-01-03T22:11:24.637
Similar to how you can use your domain registrars dns servers for your zone info. – user72718271 – 2016-01-03T22:12:12.397
Yes, if you want ns1.example.com for both nameservers set the ns records to ”in ns ns1.example.com.” – davidgo – 2016-01-04T10:49:43.317
Records with omitted names aren't necessarily for the zone origin; they're for whatever name was previously specified. – Blacklight Shining – 2016-02-05T12:12:06.510
