Sample Zone file for a domain with 2 nameservers ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com for BIND9. You can use this template to define your own nameservers. Just do changes on the domain name and IP addresses.
Be sure to include the below statement in your named.conf
I am assuming that you are running Bind9 or later version in your VPS or dedicated server.
zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "example.com.db";
}
$TTL 14400
$ORIGIN example.com.
; Specify the primary nameserver ns1.example.com in SOA
@ 14400 IN SOA ns1.example.com. webmaster.example.com. (
2008092902 ; Serial in YYYYMMDDXX (XX is increment)
10800; refresh seconds
3600; retry
604800; expire
38400; minimum
);
; Website IP Address specified in A record
IN A 11.11.11.11
; TWO nameserver names
IN NS ns1.example.com.
IN NS ns2.example.com.
; Nameservers and their corresponding IPs
ns1 IN A 11.11.11.11
ns2 IN A 22.22.22.22
; Specify here any Aliases using CNAME record
www IN CNAME example.com.
ftp IN CNAME example.com.
; Set Mail Exchanger record with priority
mail IN MX 10 example.com.
