Could I ask for help configuring DNS?
I am trying to setup an webserver using Ubuntu 9.10 Server, Karmic Koala. I have it setup in my home office behind a D-Link router. I installed DNS server, LAMP, email server, and Tomcat. To get familiar with configuring DNS, I attempted to simply setup a DNS as both a caching server and create a master entry to point to a website on itself. I called the website "example.ca". The D-Link router acts as a firewall so it shouldn't propagate. But it isn't working, when I use "nslookup example.ca" the response is "*** Can't find example.ca: No answer". When I try "ping example.ca" the response is "unknown host example.ca". What did I do wrong? I changed "/etc/resolv.conf" to have the IP address of my server instead of the router or my ISP, although the domain and search are still my ISP. I ensured the "forwarders" address in "named.conf.options" is my router. I did restart the DNS service after each change. Bit it still isn't working; I can lookup any address from the internet but my own server does not resolve. I followed these instructions:
