DNS Howto Help Needed

[dbbotha]

Some advice would be really appreciated

Current setup is
Plesk on Suse 10.2 server behind a pfSense firewall
Server on DMZ address 192.168.3.50
defassa.net 196.212.23.26 registered with Godaddy NATed on firewall to 192.168.3.50
ns1.defassa.net 196.212.23.29 registered with Godaddy NATed on firewall to 192.168.3.50 (port 53)
ns2.defassa.net 196.212.23.28 registered with Godaddy NATed on firewall to 192.168.3.50 (port 53)

Problem Statement
Can load domain default page if 196.212.23.26 is used but takes forever to load!
Cannot load domain default page if www.defassa.net is used (server not found error)
Im sure it is DNS related but would appreciate some Howto help in setting this all up.
A sample defassa.net DNS setup would be most welcome!

Thanks in advance
David

First you shouldnt have both name servers on the same physical machine, thats no good. You should have them in seperate machines in different data centers if at all possible to have better redundancy.

If the page loads its most likely not a dns issue, although the second one not loading is a dns issue since there is most likely no domain setup to use the second IP - which is fine, there really isnt a need to unless you want to use a ssl cert on the IP or something like that.
