How can be achieved that Apache on phoenix-hosting.org does virtual
hosting for a given server name (DNS A) without DNS hosting there? I
tried it by setting a domain pointer by DirectAdmin, but then I cannot
delete the DNS settings. Here follows the explanation, why this is a
problem for me.

My zone hafner.nl.eu.org is hosted on a DNS server different from
phoenix-hosting.org's. I've set the A address to phoenix-hosting.org
on that DNS server. The MX address keeps being another address:

hafner.nl.eu.org. 11206 IN MX 10 main.uucpssh.org.
hafner.nl.eu.org. 11206 IN MX 100 mx-backup.uucpssh.org.
hafner.nl.eu.org. 11205 IN A 208.98.27.2
hafner.nl.eu.org. 11205 IN NS ns0.xname.org.
hafner.nl.eu.org. 11205 IN NS ns1.xname.org.

Currently phoenix-hosting.org's name server holds different DNS
settings:

hafner.nl.eu.org. 14400 IN MX 10 mail.hafner.nl.eu.org.
hafner.nl.eu.org. 14400 IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:208.98.1.58 ?all"
hafner.nl.eu.org. 14400 IN A 208.98.27.2
hafner.nl.eu.org. 14400 IN NS ns2.phoenix-hosting.org.
hafner.nl.eu.org. 14400 IN NS ns1.phoenix-hosting.org.
mail.hafner.nl.eu.org. 14400 IN A 208.98.27.2

E-mails sent from almost everywhere in the world to my domain will go
to the correct server, but not, if they are sent from
phoenix-hosting.org, because of the different DNS settings. I could
fix that, if I were able to delete or modify the DNS settings on
phoenix-hosting.org's name server, but DirectAdmin doesn't let me
select and delete it. "Manage DNS" is disabled.

What can I do? Is manage DNS disabled in principle? Or does it depend
on some criteria (donation, trusted user a.s.o.)?

I can give you access to the DNS manager section if you request it.

It's an extra feature that I'm only giving to people who know what it is and how to use it properly.

If you want it, just say so and include your shell username (so theres no confusion).

Yes, I'd like to have it. Great!

My shell username is hafner (the same as my BBoard name here).
(BTW, why can't I run dig on infinity?

Code: Select all

dig
dig: isc_socket_create: address family not supported

)
Thanks

You now have DNS control.

You can't run dig because there was some abuse a couple of months back which lead me to implement some very harsh firewall rules. Which include blocking UDP and TCP_SYN for all normal users.
