Guys! I am trying to set up a custom bind9 server that I can use on Windows and other Android Machines as my primary DNS (Name Server).
Technical Details
Bind9 Server - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - GCP
NOTE: I have set up my Bind9 Server on Google Cloud Platform using its marketplace. And therefore, I wanted you to know if it can change some of the configuration, that might be messing this up.
Problem
When I go into Windows Network Properties and set up my server address in the DNS Area, and then I do a google search to the domain webadmin.example.com which points to x.x.x.x in the Bind9 Name Server. It does not work.
But when I go ahead and do a nslookup without the DNS Being set to my Bind9 Public IP Address, It do server my_dns_ip and then webadmin.example.com it points to the x.x.x.x, I am not sure what is happening here.
As you can see below I have attached the images to the DNS Configuration that I did here,
Here, as you can see I created a master zone called example.com
Its Configuration is as follows:
The NameServer Configuration is as follows:
NSLOOKUP WITHOUT DNS IP
The nslookup works fine here as seen:
