Hello,
I am setting up a web and dns server using rh7.1
I am able to ping my ip address fine.
I am able to ping my ns1.blabla.com fine.
When I try to ping my domain www.domain.com (http://www.domain.com) it fails -times out.
Any help is appreciated..

Sounds like your DNS is gubbed.

man resolv.conf
ie:
search yourdomain.com or org or net or edu etc...
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Good Luck,

I have the following:
search mydomain.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(isp's)
If I put my nameservers ip in here in place of isp's I lose internet connection.???
Someone told me that mydomain must be in the hosts file but I only have one ip and my hosts file currently has
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ns1.mydomain.com mydomain
If I try to add mydomain to this list it has the same ip and after I save the file it will drop one or the other when I open the file again...
