Re: [cobalt-users] Configuring Secondary DNS...

["Scott Phillips" <scott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I do have a corresponding virtual host dns2.mydomain.com to match the
"Secondary DNS Server Address (optional)" IP. However, I should mention that
this info has not yet updated. I am not sure if this makes a difference or
not. I have one machine for personal use. Thus, I am attempting to set the
server as both primary and secondary DNS. I realize this is somewhat
pointless but I am not sure what the alternative would be. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. Also, I should clarify that the domain mydomain.com
does not yet point to my server. Does this make a difference in regard to
the message I previous mentioned? Thanks for your time and consideration.
