Getting DNS server with global ip 203.145.145.145 to be recognised on the internet...

How do I get my DNS servers with global ip 203.145.145.145 to be
recognised on the internet??? What's the procedure??

Recognized as "what"?

Presumably you wish them to have a DNS name and be resolvable.

Do you have a DNS Domain name (zone) yet?

First step is to get a DNS domain -- Register.com or some other registrar.
(Choose a name, pay your money, they will host DNS for you.)
Or you use someone else's DNS zone but that isn't likely what you want.

Add an A (or HOST) record that points NAME.domainname.com to your
DNS server for "domainname.com" (or whatever) where NAME=WWW or
whatever you wish to advertise.

Well, connect it to an internet provider would be a start. If you
wnat the rest of the world to use it, you need to register it as a
host, normally done automatically when you register your domain name
with it listed as your name server. Make sure you have a secondary as
well.

Look man...It's so effing simple. Register the domain host
dns1.yourdomain.com at 203.145.145.145 with your registrar. Change the
primary DNS server for your domain to dns1.yourdomain.com with your
registrar. Make sure that port 53-UDP is forwarded through any firewalls and
the DNS server is listening on 203.145.145.145. That's friggin' it. You're
done.

Your registrar is required to do two things:

1. Register domain hosts for your domain. This is how you create DNS servers
for your domain. You tell your registrar that you would like to register the
domain host dns1.yourdomain.com at 203.145.145.145. This is how a root
server learns the name and IP address of a DNS server for your domain. It
could take a couple of days for a root server to register a new domain host.

2. Associate your domain name with the DNS servers for your domain name.
(i.e. - When someone queries a root server for the IP address for
yourdomain.com, the root server answers with the DNS server names for
yourdomain.com. If I queried a root server for the IP address for
yourdomain.com, it would answer with the DNS server names for
yourdomain.com, either dns1.yourdomain.com or dns1.yourhostingprovider.com.
These are the primary and secondary DNS servers which you configure with
your registrar for your domain name.)

Anything more that your registrar provides is icing on the cake.

If you would tell me who your registrar is, I'll get you links from their
help files on how to do this.

As far as resource records go, you'd want to start off with a couple of
basic ones (I'm assuming that 203.145.145.145 is the only globally-unique IP
address that you have.):
name type value
yourdomain.com a 203.145.145.145
www cname yourdomain.com
mail mx0 yourdomain.com

Keep in mind that these resource records would be maintained in the forward
lookup zone of the primary DNS server for your domain, maybe
dns1.yourdomain.com listening on 203.145.145.145 (your personal DNS server).

My domain registrar was www.primusdomain.com, www.iprimus.com.au . They
told me they do not provide any support for custom DNS servers. All I need
is just for my DNS servers(not web server) to be recognised as ip
203.145.145.145. I couldn't locate the help file.

 

[Dodo]

Yes, I was also unable to find any useful information in the iPrimus help
file.

iPrimus support says the following:

You are able to create name servers through the user summary page and by
clicking on Modify at the bottom of the page.

Thanks dodo, I've sent them an email and they said the same thing. Did you
called them up or something. If not where did you see they said that??
Anyway my confusion has been resolved. The way iprimus put's the page is so
confusing...

 

[Dodo]

I sent them an e-mail also.
