[09:35] <jeev> hahahahah
[09:35] <jeev> deevl4123 was funnny
[09:37] <Stellar> anyone here?
[09:37] <Stellar> jeev?
[09:37] <jeev> yea
[09:37] <Stellar> need help mate
[09:38] <jeev> with what
[09:38] <Stellar> quite new in owning a box
[09:38] <Stellar> how i can make my box resolved as a domain?
[09:38] <jeev> your IP ?
[09:38] <Stellar> i have bought a domain name
[09:38] <Stellar> i just put my box ip in the my domain name NS?
[09:39] <Stellar> i use openbsd
[09:39] <jeev> no
[09:39] <Stellar> you need my ip?
[09:39] <jeev> you need to create a ns, create the hosts (auth ns's)
[09:39] <jeev> and then point to those
[09:39] <jeev> it'd probably be best for you to ask up_the_irons if he does free dns hosting
[09:39] <jeev> or use a free dns hosting service.
[09:40] <Stellar> i know the minuses i hosted my own is if my box goes down then thats it
[09:40] <Stellar> so i just make dns with name ns.mydomain.com ?
[09:41] <jeev> it's more than that
[09:41] <jeev> first you have to 'register' yourself as a nameserver
[09:41] <Stellar> where?
[09:41] <Stellar> icap?
[09:41] <jeev> what's icap
[09:42] <jeev> where did you buy the domain from
[09:42] <Stellar> name.com
[09:42] <Stellar> i can add and remove the NS list of my domain
[09:42] <jeev> name.com should have an option when you login
[09:42] <hycer> no, Stellar, you need a dns server on your box, point your domain ns to your box, make a zonefile on your box
[09:42] <jeev> where you could create a host or something
[09:42] <Stellar> yes i knew that jeev
[09:43] <Stellar> point your domain ns to your box = my box ip?or nameserver domain name?
[09:43] <hycer> first: what you want to do?
[09:43] <jeev> first, you should probably find the option in name.com, without it it wont work
[09:44] <Stellar> i already found it jeev,i can add and remove the ns list of my domain name in name.com
[09:44] <Stellar> hycer i want box get resolve as my domain name
[09:44] <Stellar> :/
[09:45] <jeev> it's not a ns list he
[09:45] <jeev> h
[09:45] <hycer> ok second question : you want to manage your domain on your own box?
[09:45] <Stellar> yes
[09:46] <Stellar> i just need direction what i should do to get my box resolved as mydomainname.com
[09:47] <hycer> ok then, install bind -> create a zone file with your domain and A records -> point your domain ns to your box ip/ns.yourdomain.com and read http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/
[09:47] <Stellar> ok thanks
[09:47] <Stellar> trying
[09:47] <Stellar> it's gonna be long night
[09:48] <Stellar> how long normally the icann updated their NS list?
[09:48] <hycer> 24/48hour but can be longer
[09:49] <Stellar> ok
[09:55] <Stellar> hycer do you know that if Garry already install the openbsd ports for us?
[09:57] <hycer> i dont use openbsd, you should ask him directly or write at support@arpnetworks.com
[09:57] <Stellar> ok
[09:59] *** yekoms has joined #arpnetworks
[10:01] <toddf> pkg_info
[10:01] <toddf> will tell you what ports are installed
[10:01] <yekoms> admin around?
[10:02] <Stellar> thx todd
[10:02] <toddf> you need to understand the difference between a `host' record and a `domain name' both of which are necessary to host your own dns
[10:02] <toddf> the `host' record is your nameserver's name that is put directly into the toplevel zone files, so people can use ns1.foo.com to resolve foo.com, called glue records
[10:03] <toddf> yekoms: it is a faq around here, if up_the_irons isn't responding, email support@ for whatever you need
[10:03] <yekoms> i was wondering, if i order how long till its up?
[10:03] <Stellar> the one i don't understand is how the client will know my NS ip?
[10:03] <toddf> also, as a freebie, you also email support@ if you want reverse dns, send support@ a ssh public key for access to serial console/hard reboot/etc of your vps, and email support@ if you need bandwidth graphs made available
[10:04] <toddf> yekoms: oh, orders happen the same evening usually, not sure about the weekend though
[10:04] <yekoms> i have to submit tickets to set my rdns?
[10:04] <toddf> you just email support@ where you want it pointed, it will get taken care of
[10:04] <yekoms> ew.
[10:04] <toddf> there is a bit of manual in the setup process here, but IMHO the value and price is hard to beat
[10:05] <toddf> name one VPS that uses KVM and permits serial console securely via ssh ..
[10:05] <yekoms> i can host my own dns service tho and control my rdns that way right?
[10:05] <toddf> of course
[10:05] <yekoms> sweet. well i dont need kvm, so eh.
[10:05] <toddf> you get a VM on linux/KVM and do with it what you will, as if you have your own hw
[10:05] <toddf> KVM as in the virtualization technology
[10:05] <Stellar> todd bind9 known as named?
[10:06] <toddf> but you do get vnc access (with or without ssh) to your physical console also
[10:06] <yekoms> i just hope arp is better then ircvps.
[10:06] <toddf> stellar right
[10:06] <toddf> I haven't heard of them
[10:06] <Stellar> it's installed by default right?
[10:06] <yekoms> not always Stellar
[10:06] <toddf> I've been with arp for several months now, once setup (ordered one day, woke the next day to access to my vps) I have only been impressed
[10:07] <Stellar> i checked on my rc.conf there is named_flags=NO
[10:07] <Stellar> yup for me also
[10:07] <Stellar> so far so good
[10:07] <toddf> yekoms: on OpenBSD he's using so in this case yes, but yeah it can be other things on other os's
[10:07] <yekoms> thats how i was with ircvps, but 8 days is how long my current vps is down.
[10:07] <Stellar> still configuring though
[10:07] <toddf> yekoms: bleh, that'd suck indeed
[10:07] <yekoms> ive never known bind9(named) to be installed by default unless you set that.
[10:08] <Stellar> Garry installed everything
[10:08] <toddf> yekoms: bind9 is what openbsd has in base
[10:08] <Stellar> dunno though
[10:08] <yekoms> ah.
[10:08] <yekoms> not on freebsd.
[10:08] <toddf> it just isn't enabled by default
[10:08] <yekoms> i had to install it.
[10:09] <toddf> the way I looked at it when I started arp, for $10 I could experiment for a month
[10:09] <toddf> I did, had another $8.95 experiment at bsdvm
[10:09] <toddf> I kept arp and let bsdvm go
[10:09] <toddf> they nat the public Ip they allocate
[10:09] <toddf> with arp I get a subnet of v4 and a /48 of v6
[10:09] <toddf> native
[10:10] <toddf> plus I get more resources at arp than bsdvm for similar pricing (more mem) .. unlimited bandwidth of bsdvm was interesting but not useful with nat for me
[10:12] <toddf> what kinda vps you need, yekoms? obviously freebsd, but .. stable sounds like a 1st requirement ;-)
[10:13] <yekoms> i spend around 40/mo right now anyways.
[10:13] <yekoms> im going to ask for this months payment for a refund and prob buy here.
[10:14] <toddf> I'm just a customer yammering, but I suspect you won't be disappointed here, I haven't been ;-)
[10:14] <yekoms> if he refunds, we'll find out.
[10:15] <hycer> "<devel4123> damn i really should stop being such a cheapass and get myself a vps already" can't stop laugh
[10:15] <jeev> hycer, the other thing made me laugh
[10:15] <jeev> yekoms, we're pretty much very happy with what we have
[10:15] <jeev> and i haev a lot of actual physical servers
[10:15] <jeev> but i couldn't give up the opportunity to get this
[10:15] <jeev> i dont even use it
[10:18] <Stellar> hi guys
[10:18] <hycer> jeev: lol yes i just didn want to paste all...but can't stop really :V
[10:18] <Stellar> i'm his friend and i'm kissing hi
[10:18] <Stellar> don't mind man
[10:18] <Stellar> he is a jerk
[10:19] <Stellar> vm,
[10:53] <jeev> who's a jerk ?
