A nameserver (e.g. ns1.domain.com) serves up DNS records. So, just registering a "domain" doesn't create a DNS server. Assuming you have a DNS server at ns1.domain.com that is handling records for the zones associated with your domain, it should work provided that the DNS server is accessible (e.g. accessible from the Internet).
Does your DNS server serve up records ok locally? Have you tried to query records from the DNS server host itself and querying itself?

Hi all,
Does someone use this kind of config on /etc/resolv.conf?
search domain1.com domain2.com
nameserver 1.x.x.x
nameserver 2.x.x.x
nameserver 3.x.x.x
nameserver 4.x.x.x
Is that going to work properly?
I heard that only 3 lines are enabled on resolv.conf. Is that true?
Thanks! (1 Reply)

RESOLV.CONF(5) File Formats Manual RESOLV.CONF(5)
NAME
resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/resolv.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/resolv.conf is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. It may con-
tain these two lines:
nameserver IP-address
domain domain-name
The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries. If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the
local name daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names. You normally only need a nameserver entry if the
name server is at the other side of a router. The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network.
The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames. This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of
the local host is used.
The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).
