- Dear Experts,
-
- I'm a beginner in the DNS business and in order to create the database
- files we used the program called 'hosts_to_named'on our Sun server vim_s:
-
- hosts_to_named -d ernohb.de -n 149.243 -m 10:prime_s
-
- The contents of the 'db.ernohb' File was the following one:
-
-
- @ IN SOA vim_s.ernohb.de. root.vim_s.ernohb.de. (
- 1 ; Serial
- 10800 ; Refresh every 3 hours
- 3600 ; Retry every hour
- 604800 ; Expire after a week
- 86400 ) ; Minimum ttl of 1 day
- IN NS vim_s.ernohb.de.
-
- localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
-
-
- Now I'm missing the MX entry with the specified weight (10) and the
- mail hub prime_s.
-
- What's wrong ???
-
- Also, could anyone e-mail to me a tutorial, guide about the DNS set-up procedure?
-
- Many thanks for your help and please e-mail to:
