Thank you Steve for that great response because I am going through
something very similar to what Peter is going through. I just have a
question about moving the names over to a raq2. After I copied the
/etc/named/records over to the new raq2 it keeps showing some ip's in
the domains that I have to point some random mx records and such to.
They all show up in the /etc/named/records as:
soa - 208.176.121.91/24
hostname.domain.com::[EMAIL PROTECTED]:10800:3600:604800:86400 -
should I delete these out or just keep these in there. When I create
records through the raq2 gui it never adds these I believe.
Thanks again,
Jake Smith
