reddit / selfhosted

On my domain registrar I've added

​

 \*\*x.ns.domain.ext\*\* and \*\*y.ns.domain.ext\*\* and bound it to
IP of a vps running bind9, than i've changed nameservers of the domain
itself to those two. webserver and dns are two differenct vps
instances.

​

this is my zone and bind config:

my question is: do i also need PTR records, or do i simply wait for
propagation?

This isn't strictly self-hosted.

however, you would need Glue records at your registrar for it to be
the *most* official. Once those are up, you should be good after
propagation.

Believe me, there's been a lot of turbulence over the past year about
what the subreddit does and does not consider "appropriate."

I am hoping to test some changes come the new year.

Keep in mind that propagation globally can take awhile.

Keep an eye on https://dnschecker.org to make sure your seeing global
changes take place.

domain + A record = some show X some proper IP, domain + NS record =
some show X some new ns some old ns

guess it should be ready to go in few hours/days.

thank you for the help!

Sounds about right. Should be all set soon.

yeaa i think im getting there now instead of

ERR\_NAME\_NOT\_RESOLVED im getting ERR\_TUNNEL\_CONNECTION\_FAILED.

probably will have to reset the other VPS's nginx

Yep, that seems to be true. One step closer!
