[cobalt-users] DNS on the RAQ3 followup

[TrooperPX@xxxxxxx]

Thanks,


        That gets me started...but here is a follow-up question:


<< You can name it anything you wan't.  It's typically a machine name, and
I don't host anything on the main site.  You can use your name, one of
your kid's names, etc. >>

        This finally makes sense.  My follow up clarification would be:

In the "Server Management - Control Panels - Network" section, now I know I 
can name it anything, but what do I put as the "Host Name"?  Do I put "www" 
like my virtual sites, "ns" or "ns1" because my ISP's Secondary DNS starts 
with "ns2".  If so, which one is better to use.


<< Be sure to have both a DNS record in the domain for it, and be sure that
you or your ISP (whoever is hosting your reverse DNS) has a record for
IP# pointing back to it. >>

        You mean set up the DNS for it, where it asks for "Server Management 
- Control Panels - Services - DNS Server - Parameters - SOA Configuration"?


<< "Do I have to set up DNS for each Virtual Site?"  If your ISP isn't doing 
your primary DNS, then yes, you do. >>

        My ISP is doing the Secondary DNS, and they say I'm doing the 
Primary... If I set up this Primary DNS by naming it as above, should the 
Virtual sties just sort of work once I tell Network Solutions?

        Thank you again for your time and consideration.
