Reverse DNS trouble using zoneedit
![[se]](/s/countries/se.gif) Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 06 July 2004 16:20:35
Am I doing something wrong or is it zoneedit that doesn't work very well along with SixXS?
At zoneedit.com, I entered "a.e.6.0.0.6.9.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa" as PTR for my domain. I also have a AAAA record for the same domain back to 2001:960:6ea:1::1.
But when I do dig +trace a.e.6.0.0.6.9.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa I get stuck in a loop, like this:
; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> +trace a.e.6.0.0.6.9.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa

dig: Too many lookups
Note how it ends up at ns7.zoneedit.com multiple times...
What can be wrong and what should I do?
Reverse DNS trouble using zoneedit
Guess what it is all your fault. Configuring your (or actually zoneedits) nameservers to serve the zone would be a good start.
I wonder why people don't simply setup a bind9 with a nameserver of themselves, much easier and works all the time.

How about giving me some advice then? :)
I have checked everywhere on zoneedit but I can't find anything that seems wrong to me. Forward DNS is working as it should.
Besides, If I want to use a local BIND server, is it possible to use that server for IPv6 reverse *only* and zoneedit for the rest, or do I have to serve my whole domain on my own DNS server?
Since I thought you need to have a primary *and* secondary for that stuff, I don't run DNS myself.
If it's possible to do reverse only, then I'd like to switch my subnet NS settings to my own, yes... Too bad that will never be possible since I have 0 credits, so I guess I'll have to live with zoneedit now unless I get some. ;(
Reverse DNS trouble using zoneedit
Advice: Read the FAQ.
Also a reverse-zone is just a normal DNS zone, the main difference is that mostly people only stick PTR records in it, but one can quite easily also stick a A or AAAA record in there, it is just a zone.
A secondary DNS server is a convience to liten the load on the first and also to make sure when the first falls out that the second one takes over, nothing more.
Most TLD's have a requirement that domains (domain.tld) have at least two name servers though.
Credits must be earned, especially for stuff like reverse DNS which only have one primary usage.

Of course I read the FAQ before asking questions, however I see nothing about how to use zoneedit together with SixXS in there, only how to configure BIND (and not what do do if it doesn't work). Since zoneedit uses 1 zone per domain name, I suppose I can't just create a new one there, which is why I'm asking people who might have gotten this to work.
.org domains do require 2 nameservers, so I have the choice of zoneedit only, or my own dns + zoneedit.
Edit: OK, now I understand... and I would have a lot earlier if zoneedit didn't have a "www." before the textbox where you enter the reverse IP!
Problem is, I still can't use it since I need to change my nameserver at SixXS.
Edit 2: Never mind. I mailed zoneedit and they were kind enough to move my zone to the correct nameserver (in less than 10 minutes!). :)
