Search Again: Getting feet wet From: Joseph D''Andrea Date: Sunday, April 20, 1997 Time: 11:14:00 pm I run a macOS server with webstar and EIMS. I use ClearlyHome for virtual hosting, and all the e-mail account names are unique so there is no need for any SMTP virtual hosting. I currently have three domains registered for which my ISP provides primary and secondary service. They all map to the same static address. My ISP charges me mucho dinero every time I add a new domain. Now I need to add another domain and I want to do it myself. (I know I have to register it with the InterNIC.) My ISP provides name service for my main domain, domainA.com. They have an SOA record and an A record which point to the IP address. They also have a CNAME for www.domainA.com and ftp.domainA.com. There is an MX record which points to domainA.com. (Again, all the services are running on the same mac.) I want to run QuickDNS for a new domain, domainB. Here's how I think it will be set-up: domainB.com SOA ????? domainB.com A 111.111.111.111 www.domainB.com CNAME domainB.com domainB.com MX domainA.com ------^ --------------^ The questions are: 1) Am I on the right track? 2) Do I need an actual machine name in the SOA record? 3) If I put a hostname in the SOA record, do I just define it with another CNAME? 4) Anyone have any particular pitfalls that a DNS newbie should watch out for?
