BIND9: Is possible to point another ip address for main domain?

  • 772

This is my zone file:

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 10800      ; 3 hours
example.com           IN SOA  ns1.example.com. email.example.com. (
                                25         ; serial
                                10800      ; refresh (3 hours)
                                3600       ; retry (1 hour)
                                604800     ; expire (1 week)
                                3600       ; minimum (1 hour)
                                )
                        NS      ns1.example.com.
                        NS      ns2.example.com.
                        A       192.0.2.1
                        MX      10 mail.example.com.
$ORIGIN example.com.
ftp                     CNAME   example.com.
mail                    A       192.0.2.1
ns1                     A       192.0.2.1
ns2                     A       192.0.2.1
www                     CNAME   example.com.

Is it possible ns1.example.com be 192.0.2.1 but example.com be 192.0.2.2 ? (without using another DNS server on 192.0.2.2) How I can do that?

    The example.com. IN A can certainly point to any IP address other than the IP addresses of your authoritative name servers. However, you should still have at least two different name servers on separate networks. This comes from IANA's Technical requirements for authoritative name servers:

    Minimum number of name servers

    There must be at least two NS records listed in a delegation, and the hosts must not resolve to the same IP address.

    Network diversity

    The name servers must be in at least two topologically separate networks. A network is defined as an origin autonomous system in the BGP routing table. The requirement is assessed through inspection of views of the BGP routing table.
