Hi, The only reason I'm starting this thread is because I've followed countless tutorials about to how to properly set the nameservers on vistacp, disregard everything I tried I keep getting this same error, as I can't find a logical explanation of why this is happening I'm hoping anyone in here can help me get it fixed as I'm, by now, at a total loss.

I have no idea what's wrong, hope someone can shed some light on this.


1) Named won't start because it complains about the following:

zone syndicate.com.ar/IN NS 'ns1.syndicate.com.ar' has no address records (a or AAA)
zone syndicate.com.ar/IN NS 'ns2.syndicate.com.ar' has no address records (a or AAA)

zone syndicate.com.ar/IN: not loaded due to errors.
_default/syndicate.com.ar/IN: bad zone

2) I've set up the A records for both NS but named won't start and keeps displaying the same exact error, disregarding the fact that I ALREADY SETUP A RECORDS FOR NS1 AND NS2.



Registrar config:

NS A records on vistacp user/domain:

Error on the console:

DNS Server conf (VestaCP admin)

options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
version "get lost";
allow-transfer {"none";};
recursion no;

};

include "/etc/rndc.key";

zone "syndicate.com.ar" {type master; file "/home/syndicate/conf/dns/syndicate.com.ar.db";};




PROBLEM AND SOLUTION:

So, basicly, I was stupid and had set the record wrong, instead of just typing "ns1" I was stupidly typing the ENTIRE domain, so the record was invalid:

I think the preview text on the right should be more noticeable, it's varely noticeable in that light-gray color. Also there should be an indication like " PREVIEW" for stupid people like me.
