Thanks for all your speedy input.
Daniel O'Callaghan:
The IP for hook.hepweb.com is 38.208.69.2. hook.hepweb.com is the box
running named.
Dan Busarow:
The domain in question is hepweb.com, (which is now under the authority of
psi.net until I figure out my problems). Their listing is www.hepweb.com.
Named is running on a box called hook.hepweb.com. My ISP is going to be
running the secondaries, (that's why they need access to the zone files), so
I don't have those details, but here is a copy of my named.boot,
;
; Boot file for name server
;
directory /mynameddirectory
cache . cache
primary hepweb.com db.hepweb
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa db.local
primary 69.208.38.in-addr.arpa hepweb.rev
Edwin:
Thanks for the tools hint. I'll check them out immediately.
Richard:
Hey! I was WONDERING about the very subject you mentioned. My only
question is, which one of the following entries is the one that returns a
value for alpine.net?
@ IN SOA oak.alpine.net. root.alpine.net. (
9703051 ;serial number (date)
86400 ;secondary refresh
1800 ;retry
3600000 ;expire
604800 ) ;default ttl = 1 week
IN NS oak.alpine.net.
IN A 208.138.51.132
IN MX 10 oak.alpine.net.
Particularly, the A record 208.138.51.132. Do we simply place the IP
without a machine name as shown?
Thank you all again
Peace
