DNS Setup Failed

Question

My friends wants to setup a new server based on win server 2008. He installed and configured all needed components like DNS, Mail Server, FTP, IIS and etc. Now he can access server's root directory via IP adrress. but he wants to have a global access to it via http. his domain name is safar724.ir and its NS is ns1.safar724.ir Now when we try to ping ns1.safar724.ir, the result does not sound good.

[saeed@localhost]~/robots% ping ns1.safar724.ir ping: unknown host ns1.safar724.ir

how can we solve this problem and making our NS global and valid for Domains provider or ISPs?

happy new year again :D

Answer 1

According to these queries he probably hasn't setup the domain name at the authoritive name servers for that domain:

C:\Users\plenderj>nslookup
Default Server:  ie-dub01a-dns01.upc.ie
Address:  89.101.160.4

> set q=ns
> safar724.ir
Server:  ie-dub01a-dns01.upc.ie
Address:  89.101.160.4

Non-authoritative answer:
safar724.ir     nameserver = ikjot.ekkum.com
safar724.ir     nameserver = ikdev.ekkum.com
safar724.ir     nameserver = ns1.ekkum.com
safar724.ir     nameserver = iknoor.ekkum.com
safar724.ir     nameserver = ikdesh.ekkum.com

ikdesh.ekkum.com        internet address = 199.26.68.157
ns1.ekkum.com   internet address = 199.26.68.2
iknoor.ekkum.com        internet address = 24.114.243.251
ikdev.ekkum.com internet address = 64.72.239.182
ikjot.ekkum.com internet address = 208.124.160.124
> set q=a
> ns1.safar724.ir
Server:  ie-dub01a-dns01.upc.ie
Address:  89.101.160.4

*** ie-dub01a-dns01.upc.ie can't find ns1.safar724.ir: Non-existent domain

He'd probably need to manage his domain on ekkum.com
