Re: [cobalt-users] default DNS for inbound requests? [fix]

[shimi <shimi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Erm. Just woke up!
Now after someone replied to you, I see that I got you wrong :)

Ok to achieve what you need, open /etc/named.conf, and lookup the zone
(domain) you want to enable this on.

It should look like that:

zone "domain.com" { type master; file "pri.domain.com"; };
ok, see "pri.domain.com" ? that's the file that contains the zone (domain)
information.
you'll need to go to /etc/named (at least on a RaQ3, if the file is not
there, type "locate filename" and it'll tell you where it's on your box.
now, DON'T edit that file! it'll work, but the next time you save
modifications to DNS via the control panel, it'll be OVERWRITTEN!
instead, create a file called pri.domain.com.include (a file with the same
name, with ".include" added in the end.
Inside that file, enter this:

*	in	a	1.2.3.4
where 1.2.3.4 is the IP you want all queries who couldn't be resolved
through the main domain data, to be resolved as.

save the file.
now go to DNS settings in the control panel and hit Save Changes
the RaQ will see your file, and include it's contents to the zonefile, and
you should be having it working... I hope :)

sorry if there are spelling mistakes or stuff like that. as I said, I just
woke up :)
