Im trying to set up a webserver with Bind9, apache2 on Debian 6. I am trying to learn to do it manualy so I do not have any control panels or anything just the command line.

I have a domain name lets call it www.example.com

I want a virtual host setup so that I can have multiple websites with different names on my server. I have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com registered at my servers IP (123.456.789.12).

Below is my Bind9 named.conf.options

options {
    directory "/var/cache/bind";

    // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
    // to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
    // ports to talk.  See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113

    // If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
    // nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
    // Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
    // the all-0's placeholder.

    // forwarders {
    //      0.0.0.0;
    // };

    auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035
    listen-on-v6 { any; };
};

This is the default I'm not sure if i was supposed to edit it. I didn't.

Here is my named.conf.default-zones:

    // prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};

// be authoritative for the localhost forward and reverse zones, and for
// broadcast zones as per RFC 1912

zone "localhost" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.local";
};

zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.127";
};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.0";
};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.255";
};

zone "example.com.com" {
        type master;
        file "etc/bind/example.com.db";
};

named.conf.local Is an empty file with a comment saying to do local configuration here.

example.com.db looks like this:

; BIND data file for mywebsite.com
;
$ORIGIN example.com.
$TTL    604800

@       IN      SOA     ns1.example.com. [email protected]. (
                                2009120101         ; Serial
                                    604800         ; Refresh
                                     86400         ; Retry
                                   2419200         ; Expire
                                    604800 )       ; Negative Cache TTL

;
                IN      NS      ns1.example.com.
                IN      NS      ns2.example.com.

                IN      MX 10   mail.example.com.

localhost       IN      A       127.0.0.1
example.com.  IN      A       123.456.789.12

ns1             IN      A       123.456.789.12
ns2             IN      A       123.456.789.12


www             IN      A       123.456.789.12
ftp             IN      A       123.456.789.12
mail            IN      A       123.456.789.12

boards          IN      CNAME   www

These are all settings I've found from various tutorials. Now when i go to intodns I get:

You should already know that your NS records at your nameservers are missing, so here it is again: ns1.example.com ns2.example.com

Can someone help me? I'm not sure what Im doing wrong.
