DNS Setup

[@rjun]

Hey guys!

I recently wanted to have a local DNS server for my family and friends, to share data easily.
But somewhere i'm stuck. Here's my "dig me.cloud":
; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.2-Ubuntu <<>> www.me.cloud
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 12011
;; flags: qr rd ad; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;www.me.cloud.            IN    A

;; WHEN: Fri Jun 19 00:47:02 IST 2015
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 41

I'm using Bind9 for DNS.
Configuration is as follows:

1. named.conf.local:

//
// 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 "me.cloud" IN{
        type master;
        file"/etc/bind/zones/me.cloud.db";
};

zone "99.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa"{
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/zones/99.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
};




2. named.conf.options:

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 {
         192.168.1.1;
        0.0.0.0;
        8.8.8.8;
       
     };

    //========================================================================
    // 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; };
};


3. zone/99.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:

;
; BIND reverse data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL 635356
@    SOA    me.cloud. me.cloud. (
                  1        ; Serial
             604800        ; Refresh
              86400        ; Retry
            2419200        ; Expire
             604800 )    ; Negative Cache TTL
;
99.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.                IN      NS      ns1.me.cloud.

99    IN    PTR    www.me.cloud.



4. zone/me.cloud.db:

;
; BIND reverse data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL 635356
@    SOA    me.cloud. me.cloud. (
                  1        ; Serial
             604800        ; Refresh
              86400        ; Retry
            2419200        ; Expire
             604800 )    ; Negative Cache TTL
;
ns1        IN    NS    192.168.1.99
www        IN    A    192.168.1.99
localhost    IN    A    127.0.0.1

I have also setup primary DNS server on my router as 192.168.1.99(www.me.cloud as well as ns1.me.cloud)
Also my /etc/resolv.conf is as follows:
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.1.1


Any guidance would be really helpful.
Thanks

During my wireshark analysis DNS queries were being sent from 192.168.1.99(my machine) to 192.168.1.1(my router).
The 'Question' parameter was being sent as i saw in wireshark but 'Answer' parameter was empty.
So somehow i believe that either the problem is within my configuration of BIND or with my router. But i have already set my primary DNS server to this machine(192.168.1.99) and secondary DNS server to 8.8.8.8(google's). So narrowing down, i think problem is with above configuration.

Problem: Zones haven't been set yet. (see DIG output above)

Okay.
Can you check the configuration only so that i can then shift to my router, because it's kind of mess right now. If i change one thing i have to go back to very beginning and then i am unable to setup DNS then i have to reset every thing and start again.

So if you like kindly check the above posted configuration and warn me if there is something wrong.
Once i'm sure that my configuration is right then i can concentrate on other things in a better manner.

What i'm trying to achieve is a local webserver, local DNS server, all on a single machine with IP(192.168.1.99--it's static).
This address should be named as "www.me.cloud".

Thanks Anyway.



EDIT: changed 1.99.168.192.in-addr.arpa to 99.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
