If you've got one lying around, it's a free: storage/backup box (just add a couple of USB sticks), VPN server, irc bouncer, static web host, DNS server, etc etc - ie anything you might do with a small

@Spirit they lost it a while back, not today. Then they put a $50 credit in my account. I doubt I will host a DNS there anymore.

We have two VPS servers with Digital Ocean for DNS. They already lost one of them. When you try to race every other host to the bottom by forcing prices down, you might get there first. It's more like

Those are some very interesting reasons to cancel a VPS. Some of them make no sense at all. Personally I will usually have at least one VPS at a time that I buy simply for "testing"

to use IPXCore's 96MB budget OpenVZ plan for a DNS box, but once I decided to make my setup IPv6 capable, I had to get a different box instead. At least I was using it!

Me again with more IPv6 stuff. I contacted my domain registrar, Namecheap, to add IPv6 glue records to my domain so that I could fully set up IPv6 AAAA DNS records. They said the records were added, a

First the IP from which they are sending the emails doesn't have matching reverse and forward DNS resolving. And second the HELO their mail server is sending is wrong too. These two combined reduce a

Could always setup the box with it and use modulegarden's DNS manager plugin. It can manage rdns.

No no no no no. You aren't restricted to one per core. On my home rig I've got a dual core proc, and yet I run a dns server, storage server (although I really haven't transferred all my data to it yet

Sorry, I wasn't clear when I said the records would match. I haven't actually changed it yet and I'm not going to until I finish configuring this new server as my master DNS box. I guess I'll just hav

Yep, just wait for your DNS to propagate and RDNS should work.

He is hosting his own DNS, haven't you been following? (Image)

In your DNS. For example, create A record "me.mydomain.com" with an IP. Test it with dig. When it works, set reverse-dns via your host's control panel (or if that is not available, s

@sleddog So as I understand it, you're saying I don't need to configure rDNS - the SolusVM network tab does do it for me? And where do I set the A record? In my domain's current DNS, or through SolusV

You don't set reverse dns, the provider who's been assigned the IP does that.

As you know, I'm setting up my own DNS. To be clear, this is for many reasons, not least of which is to learn more about how it all works. Anyway, with that in mind, I'm trying to figure out in partic

If I were to make a guess, would this be a possible DNS issue (since it seems the ping times are fine except for the first time it tries to ping)? Or could it be something else - since I don't know mu
