On my domain : carrz-fox-fire.com ...........
It is "Unfortunantly" hosted by "Namesecure" I have them point a main
record to my
"Static IP" Address, And then I go into my DNS and set up the following
records.
New Zone : domain-name.com
///Under this newly created domain. I create the following records.
(I also enable WINS Lookup to my Static IP Address, On each one)
SOA - self Created
NS - Self Created
//I create these, making sure that I have [ undate associated PTR
Record] Checked....
www A domain-name.com
ftp A domain-name.com
mail A domain-name.com
domain-name.com MX [10] domain-name.com
This way, the Mail will be found when typing in '' mail.domain-name.com ""
"" ftp "" found when typing in "" ftp.domain-name.com ""
"" www "" found when typing in "" www.domain-name.com ""
And so on.................
Just thought that I would through my 2-cents in on this as well.
Hope that it helps some.
The only things that I cannot figure out yet, Is how to make the
following count:
TcpQueries
TcpResponses
WINS Forward Lookups
WINS Forward Responses
WINS Reverse Lookups
WINS Reverse Responses
Now matter what I try, I just cannot get them to work.
