Re: [cobalt-users] DNS Setup on the RaQ3



My setup on a Raq3

A Record
domain.com -> IP address
www.domain.com -> IP address

Yes. And for each, check the box that says to do the reverse lookup (it is on the same dialog box as the one you are on at this point.


Reverse PTR Record
IP address -> domain.com

No - you do not need to manually add ptr records, clicking the box in the section above will take care of what you need.

MX Record
(High) domain.com -> domain.com
(High) mail.domain.com -> domain.com
(High) www.domain.com -> domain.com

I use just one entry:
domain.com -> www.domain.com
Then in my email programs, the server for POP/SMTP is www.domain.com

You need your DNS server registered - I use bulkregister.com; I'm pleased with them.

So they have my main DNS server www.raqserver.com registered, then I handle my own site's DNS.

Good luck,
