Using your own DNS server
This is the procedure to host your domain on your own DNS server. The rest of this tutorial will use these values as example, you should change them according to your informations:
DOMAIN: mydomain.com
SERVER_HOST: ns0000000.ip-1-2-3.net
SERVER_IP: 9.9.9.9
DNS_SERVER: ns1.mydomain.com
First create a glue record (a pair of NS and A records) at your registrar (the specific instructions and procedures to do this vary with each registrar).
The glue record is essentially a couple of DNS records (NS and A records) binding the domain mydomain.com to your the primary zone of your DNS server ns1.mydomain.com and to the secondary DNS zone in sdns1.ovh.ca (OVH’s secondary DNS server).
For instance:
mydomain.com NS ns1.mydomain.com
mydomain.com NS sdns1.ovh.ca
ns1.mydomain.com A 9.9.9.9
sdns1.ovh.ca A 8.33.137.137
Once the glue record is created, you must do the same in the main DNS zone of your DNS server.
Only then you should create a secondary DNS zone in sdns1.ovh.ca like so:
Connect to you OVH manager
Select your server and navigate to the secondary DNS section
Add domain mydomain.com and IP address 9.9.9.9
You will be provided a secret token that you must add as TXT record of your DNS zone
The interface will validate that you are the owner of the domain and complete the configuration
Using this configuration, you can take advantage of a free secondary DNS server provided by OVH which will host a slave zone of your domain.
This secondary DNS server works as a backup of your main DNS server.
You need to authorize zone transfers in your server towards OVH’s secondary DNS server. It is very important that you only authorize trusted DNS servers. Here’s an example with BIND (/etc/named.conf):
Code:
acl trusted-servers {
9.9.9.9; // ns1.mydomain.com
8.33.137.137; // sdns1.ovh.ca
};
zone mydomain.com {
type master;
file "zones/mydomain.com";
allow-transfer { trusted-servers; };
};
Once configured, don’t forget to restart BIND:
/etc/init.d/named restart
