Can't delegate my DNS server into Link Controller

Dear All,

 

 

 

 

I have a DNS server that manage all my domain hostname, let say test.com. I have configured one listener with IP address let say 123.123.123.83. Also I have configured the inbound wideip with record www.gtm.test.com .

 

 

The DNS record in my DNS server is:

 

 

 

gtm 60 IN NS ns1.gtm.test.com.

 

 

$ORIGIN gtm.test.com.

 

ns1 60 IN A 123.123.123.83

 

www.test.com. 60 IN CNAME www.gtm.test.com.

 

 

 

 

After I created those records, I can query the ns1.gtm.test.com but I can't query www.gtm.test.com.

 

 

I there any misconfiguration from the information above?

 

 

 

 

Thanks

    You haven't actually created a record for www.gtm.test.com on your DNS server. All you've done is created an alias for www.test.com pointing to www.gtm.test.com

     

     

    You should create a record like the below. By the way, I'm making the assumption that we're in the DNS zone "gtm.test.com"

     

     

    www IN NS ns1

     

     

    Now, when a user queries your "WWW" record, your DNS server delegates resolution to ns1 (your self-ip on the LinkController)

     

     

    In case you want to see it in a FQDN fashion,

     

     

    www.gtm.test.com IN NS ns1.gtm.test.com
