Seems that way.

It would if you setup WAB directly on that domain, as it seems that WAB requires PTR records. > My first thought was to take over the DNS for this domain but rfc882 saying a > domain must have at least > 2 nameservers rules that out. Frankly, I probably don't understand enough > about how glue records function... The easiest way seems to be just create a subdomain. So if your main domain is abc.dom, you can have an NS entry on that domain for the subdomain office.abc.com pointing to your public IP address. After that, just setup everything (PTR records, etc) inside that subdomain. Another option would be to just rent a VPS for your secondary nameserver. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
