Well, I'm getting:
# host app.datacenter
Host app.datacenter not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
My mail server has for IP 192.168.0.7, a Database server has for IP 192.168.0.2
My zone file contains:
//////
; zone.datacenter
; dns zone for Datacenter
$ORIGIN datacenter.
$TTL 1D
@ IN SOA app hostmaster (
200906012 ; serial
8H ; refresh
4H ; retry
4W ; expire
1D ) ; minimum
NS app
MX 10 app
ftp CNAME app
www CNAME app
localhost A 127.0.0.1
db A 192.168.0.2
app A 192.168.0.7
//////
As I stated before, I can ping perfectly back and forth... I know this
isn't a Qmailtoaster issue anymore... But I would really like to set
this up.
