Why my DNS resolution doesn't work on VirtualHost ?

Hi everybody,

I haven't got my DNS resolution with the virtual host? I think I forgot something, don't I?

Error message:

[cmd=]nslookup www.discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com[/cmd]
Code: 
Server:         95.130.12.1
Address:        95.130.12.1#53

** server can't find www.discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com: NXDOMAIN

I rent a dedicated server, I configured domain name like this:

Code: 
Zones (Domaines) takinium.com.
	MX	mail	10	[Supprimer]

	NS	ns1.digicube.fr.		

	NS	ns2.digicube.fr.		

www	A	95.130.12.68		[Supprimer]

www	CNAME	discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com		[Supprimer]

www	CNAME	takinium.com.		[Supprimer]

I bought a domain name from Gandi, takinium.com, and I configured DNS zone like this:

Code: 
ftp 28800 IN A 95.130.12.68
www 3600 IN A 95.130.12.68
@ 3600 IN A 95.130.12.68

I installed Famp, oscommerce, phpMyAdmin, Wordpress, AWstats in the /usr/local/www folder with a symbolic link to /usr/local/www/apache22/data:

www.takinium.com/wordpress/
www.takinium.com/phpMyadmin/

etc ...

I want to put another domain name on the same dedicated server, so I bought another domain name discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com from Gandi and I configured the same DNS zone like this:

Code: 
ftp 28800 IN A 95.130.12.68
www 3600 IN A 95.130.12.68
@ 3600 IN A 95.130.12.68

With the IP address (192.168.1.10), it's the same error message

[cmd=]host www.discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com[/cmd]
Code: 
Host www.discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Can you help, please? What did I forget?

Thanks,

The domain discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com isn't even showing up in the whois registry yet, so technically it does not even exist yet on the Internet. Since there are no glue records for it, no one can query the DNS servers for it. I guess you'll have to wait until the registrar puts the glue records online.

Code: 
$ whois discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com

Whois Server Version 2.0

Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.

No match for "DISCOVERDIGITALMARKETINGTIPS.COM".
>>> Last update of whois database: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:24:54 UTC <<<

Also note that host(1) is a DNS lookup utility. It doesn't look at files like /etc/hosts, whereas other utilities like ping(1) might (depending on /etc/nsswitch.conf).
 
With your comments and suggestions, I checked my order again to Gandi and I realized that I was mistaken, it's learndigitalmarketingtips.com and not discoverdigitalmarketingtips.com

Thanks for your quick help

Your comment made me smile because it is so true and I made a silly mistake.

Have a nice day!
