[cobalt-users] Fw: dns and email questions

["ozbcoz" <jim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am a new user of the RAQ3 - this week ! Would love a little bit of startup
help.

First question   :-)

I have a box set up with, for now, I believe, both primary and secondary
DNS. At least that is what my system shows in the GUI system page. These are
on sep IP's.

I have gone into the GUI DNS properties and put in A records (with reverse
PTRs) for my DNS files - web.ozdns.net & web2.ozdns.net and have added
www.ozdns.net & ozdns.net - I have sites defined that I can resolve
successfully - first stage ok.

Now how do I ensure that my secondary dns (web2.ozdns.net) gets updated with
this information and any subsequent domains I add (either virtual ip based
or virtual name based). I am confused in the GUI between add secondary for
domain and add secondary for IP or whether I need to add anything at all.
All my changes seem to be hitting the primary  ok  but are they hitting the
secondary(?) - how do I create the records in the secondary (through the GUI
preferably) - or is that happening automatically ?

(In the near future I will be looking for someone with a single machine  to
act as a secondary for me and I will act as a secondary for them - my
question then will be how to specify that this external secondary DNS is
updated automatically every time I add a domain)

Second Question

I want to be able to set up an email redirect for a domain delegated to my
dns without setting up a virtual site for the domain. I would like to be
able to setup specific redirects as well as a catchall for all that's left
after the specific redirects - is this posiible - will I need to set up a
site ?

In anticipation thanks - hope this isn't too basic a couple of q's and I
hope I've hit the right list here
