Secondary DNS Settings

To allow our servers to collect your host information, you will need to allow access from your primary DNS server to ours, and also to tell the root servers that we are now acting as your secondary servers. Below is the necessary information, along with instructions for some of the more common DNS servers.

Main information:

Our DNS servers addresses are:

• ns1.tinynetworks.co.uk: 80.68.90.151
• ns2.tinynetworks.co.uk: 80.68.95.209

These must be set as your secondary DNS server with your domain registrar (The company with whom you bought the domain name). They must also be listed as allowed addresses for domain transfers from your primary server.

Configuring the primary server

Bind (unix)

The standard DNS server under unix is called "bind" (sometimes referred to as "named"). This has been around for nearly as long as the internet itself, and if you already have it running the changes needed are very simple. In the main configuration file (usually /etc/named.conf or /etc/bind/named.conf) there will be a zone configuration section referring to your domain name. In this zone section, add the following lines:

allow-transfer {
80.68.90.151
82.152.6.254
80.68.95.209
};

Then simply restart the service and our servers will pick up the information, usually within 24 hours.
