Having problems with "dns-server" package. No SOA record returned :(

[purpaboo2]

Using dns-server package version 1.0

I'm trying to set up a domain with correct NS,A,MX, and SOA records.

I have used "domain" instead of the actual domain name to protect the innocent. And replaced the last 2 digits of the ip address with "xx"  ;-)

At the moment I have:

www.domain.co.uk  A    www.domain.co.uk:87.194.204.xx

domain.co.uk A domain.co.uk:87.194.204.xx

domain.co.uk SOA 87.194.204.xx

domain.co.uk MX an.other.domain.co.uk

This all looks fairly groovy to me, but when trying to confirm that it's all good via www.dnsreport.com, it returns with the error

SOA FAIL SOA Record No valid SOA record came back: is not domain.co.uk.

Can anyone poke me (gently) in the right direction?

TIA

Pete

SOA records should point to a DNS name.  Then you need a A record with the DNS name of the dns server to resolve to.

Example:

domain.com  SOA    ns.domain.com 
domain.com SOA ns2.domain.comm
ns.domain.com      A    XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
ns2.domain.com    A    XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
www.domain.com  A            XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
