I'm new to DNS and making a DNS server. I've read through the bind9 server how to (at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto) and several tutorials online on setting up a bind9 server in ubuntu. I haven't gotten any of them to work yet.
I'm trying to get fivestones.desonia to resolve to my computers LAN ip address of 192.168.1.139.
My named.conf.options file:
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
// If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
// to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
// ports to talk. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
// If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
// nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
// Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
// the all-0's placeholder.
forwarders {
8.8.8.8;
8.8.4.4;
};
//========================================================================
// If BIND logs error messages about the root key being expired,
// you will need to update your keys. See https://www.isc.org/bind-keys
//========================================================================
dnssec-validation auto;
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
listen-on-v6 { any; };
};
My named.conf.local file:
#//
#// Do any local configuration here
#//
#// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
#// organization
#//include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";
zone "fivestones.desonia" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/zones/db.fivestones.desonia";
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
notify no;
file "/etc/bind/zones/db.192";
};
my /etc/bind/zones/db.192 file:
;
; BIND reverse data file for local loopback interface

I sudo service bind9 restart and then this is my tail -f /var/log/syslog:

But when I try to host -l fivestones.desonia I get
; Transfer failed.
Host fivestones.desonia not found: 9(NOTAUTH)
; Transfer failed.
And if I try to ping fivestones.desonia I get ping: unknown host fivestones.desonia.
If I host google.com I get
google.com has address 74.125.227.96
google.com has address 74.125.227.97
google.com has address 74.125.227.98

google.com mail is handled by 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.

google.com mail is handled by 50 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com.
google.com mail is handled by 10 aspmx.l.google.com.
so at least that's working. But host fivestones.desonia does nothing.
If I dig fivestones.desonia I get
; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> fivestones.desonia

...which seems like it's working. But it doesn't work.
And finally if I wget fivestones.desonia (the computer is running apache) I get
Resolving fivestones.desonia (fivestones.desonia)... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `fivestones.desonia'
What am I doing wrong? Or what other info would you need to help me figure this out? Thanks so much!
