Can you post bigger screenshots so that one can read what's in them?

Hi Falko:

Thank you for your reply - herewith larger images as requested.

Hopefully we will be able to work this out - it is rather strange.

Kind regards,

Mentor

Hi:

I ma not sure if I have mentioned it, however maybe something useful:

I cannot dig records from my server from other hosts - they are refused - so perhaps that is part of the problem?

I have checked the MyDNS.conf file and the only change that I have made to it is to enable recursive lookups to another one of my hosts.

I am concerned as my installation is now a week overdue as a result of this problem, and I have already spent at least 12 to 18 hours over the last week trying to figure it out. It is unfortunate because there are a lot of great features in the ISPConfig 3, however if it not going to work from DNS point of view, then I cannot use it and will have rollback my new server to ISPConfig 2 or another solution. This would in my opinion be unfortunate, so if you are able to help I would really appreciate it very much, thank you.

Kind regards,

Mentor

Hi:

To all who have assisted, thank you. Unfortunately we have decided that we cannot use ISPConfig 3 as it does not provide a satisfactory platform for our environment. This is very disappointing for us as it showed a lot of promise initially, however the DNS issues are proving a little to complex and long-winded to resolve.

A suggestion: ISPConfig 2 worked great with BIND - ISPConfig 3 has some really great features and a very nice front-end. Although some very good reasons have been stated for going with MyDNS, especially security, migration, simplicity, etc. it just does not not have sufficient footprint in the market to gain our vote of confidence - everyone runs BIND. Anyway, that is just my penny's worth.

Kind regards,

Mentor

Looks as if you had a firewall enabled that blocks access to dns ports on your server.

Hi Till:

Actually we found that the default config for recursive lookup in mydns.conf was a * or blank - I think that it was a * - I am not sure if that was meant to be changed as part of the installation process, but obviously setting it to an IP address was a good idea because dig started to work after that.

However there were still issues with not being able to ping hosts, even from the server where they were hosted, so we decided that it was too problematic to continue and stopped the project.

As I said, it is a pity because I actually like the new ISPconfig. Too bad!!

Kind regards,

Mentor.

I really dont know what the problem is with your setup, but there are alredy more then 10.000 ispconfig 3 installations from the RC 2 and I know several companys which use it in production setups already and the dns system seem to work fine for these users.
