I'm a newbie at server administration. My DNS file looks like this, WWW resolves. http://planandshop.co.uk does not resolve. I've just added in the last entry.. waiting for propagation, but can anyone help?

;
; Database file planandshop.co.uk..dns for planandshop.co.uk. zone
;   Zone version:  1

planandshop.co.uk.          IN  SOA     ns2.infotipp.hu. admin.infotipp.hu. (
            2018021115  ;serial 
            86400   ;refresh 
            7200    ;retry
            3600000     ;expire
            3600 )  ;ttl

;
;       Zone NS Records
;
        www.planandshop.co.uk.          IN  A   185.40.20.167
        mail.planandshop.co.uk.         IN MX 1 mail.planandshop.co.uk.
        @                               IN MX 0 mail.planandshop.co.uk.
        ftp.planandshop.co.uk.          IN  A   185.40.20.167
        mail.planandshop.co.uk.         IN  A   185.40.20.167
        @                               IN  A   185.40.20.167

  • BTW, DNS does not propagate. Moreover, you don't have to wait the TTL for the caches to expire to tell whether your configuration is working or not. Simply test against your authoritative name servers, dig planandshop.co.uk A @ns2.infotipp.hu where the changes take effect immediately after rndc reload. – Esa Jokinen Feb 25 '18 at 09:40

What is your $ORIGIN? As @ refers to the origin, you should have $ORIGIN planandshop.co.uk. if you wish to use @. Notice, that any of the other records aren't relative to the origin!

So, you could either have all the records as absolute:

www.planandshop.co.uk.  IN  A   185.40.20.167
mail.planandshop.co.uk. IN MX 1 mail.planandshop.co.uk.
planandshop.co.uk.      IN MX 0 mail.planandshop.co.uk.
ftp.planandshop.co.uk.  IN  A   185.40.20.167
mail.planandshop.co.uk. IN  A   185.40.20.167
planandshop.co.uk.      IN  A   185.40.20.167

Or use relative records like this:

$ORIGIN planandshop.co.uk.
www          IN  A   185.40.20.167
mail         IN MX 1 mail.planandshop.co.uk.
@            IN MX 0 mail.planandshop.co.uk.
ftp          IN  A   185.40.20.167
mail         IN  A   185.40.20.167
@            IN  A   185.40.20.167

Or any combination of the above, as long as you set the $ORIGIN first.
