I can't seem to find anything about the "traditional" order for a hosts

Anyways thanks for the help.
Well I don't know that there would be, but generally people do the SOA,
the A record for example.com (where example.com is your domain), and
then things like NS and MX records. Finally they do the hosts. There's
nothing magic about this though, it just happens to A) make more sense,
and B) allow you to use a few tricks that cut down on the typing.
I typically do it in this order:
SOA
NS Records
A Record for Domain
MX Records
Everything else, in alphabetic order

Ok thanks I'll try it, just as soon as I can figure out what the heck
happened to my server. Think I may have misconfigured shorewall, and
now I can't get in. Oh well life just sucks that way sometimes.
