How to configure multi domain nameservers in resolv.conf?

  • 772

I have a server that has 2 domains pointing to it domain1.com and domain2.com.

They both use the same name servers: dns1.vps.net and dns2.vps.net.

When I run cat resolv.conf

This is its contents:

# Automatically generated by OnApp (2.0.rc5.i)    
domain
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

What should actually be in here?

EDIT

I asked this question

They told me to look at my /var/log/mail.log and that it was probably because my resolv.conf was not configured right.

In the log it says:

Feb 10 18:01:02 my-domain sm-msp-queue[7933]: unable to qualify my own domain name (my-domain) -- using short name

I think this is why the server lags for about 60 seconds every time I try to send email from PHP.

    Check that you have a fully qualified name (dev-kranichs.domain.something) for 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts.

    You should have a line looking similar to

    127.0.0.1   dev-kranichs.domain.something   dev-kranichs


127.0.0.1   dev-kranichs.local   dev-kranichs

    could be enough.

  2. Those are DNS server IPs used by your server to resolve DNS names as much as I know.
