Hello,
I have recently switched from having a dynamic IP address
and using a
DNS service like zoneedit and dyndns to having a static IP address.
How do I stop having to use these DNS services and use my own? I tried changing the DNS servers at my registrar but it won't
accept my server.
TIA
Does your Registrar supply DNS services itself? I ask as mine does, but only forward, but my ISP supplies reverse DNS.
My registrar probably does, not sure about my ISP. I need the reverse DNS and I think zoneedit may offer it. I've been using them for serveral years with little or if any problems.
Your reverse dns MUST come from whoever owns the ipaddress. In 99.9 % of the cases that is your ISP. Some (not many) will actually deligate the reverse dns to you but most will at best add ptr's that match whatever is in the forward zone.
By virtue of the fact that you are asking these questions I suspect that you are in over your head. I would suggest using someone else for your DNS.
Regards,
Tom
