Search Again: Create Reverse Zone From: Simon Forster Date: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 Time: 3:21:53 am Short version of my question: To manage my own DNS records I've been asked by my ISP to create a reverse zone of "176-28.39.219.213.in-addr.arpa". I do not know how to set-up a reverse zone. Help would be appreciated! In slightly more detail: I've just moved a couple of boxes to a co-lo facility and I would like to have a secondary DNS server running from one of the co-lo boxes. This secondary would pull all its data from my primary (which sits on a slower line on a completely different network but is in my office so is easier to admin). I'd like to be (ir)responsible for ptr records for my co-lo boxes. Partly for operational reasons (if I want things changing, I want it doing now), partly because I like to learn :-) I understand the broad principles behind DNS but am a bit flaky on the details. Specific questions: - Can I create a reverse zone in Quick DNS Pro? - Even though my co-lo box has no primary domains? (I'd like to manage everything from my office server.) - How? - Or do I have a basic misunderstanding here? My DNS records are probably all over the place at the moment as various changes filter through. However, feel free to look at ldml.com which I'm trying to get served by: primary: ns.ldml.com (62.6.164.2) secondary: oxford.ldml.com (213.219.39.178). For the time being I've removed the restrictions I had in place for zone transfers from ns.ldml.com. oxford.ldml.com is not picking up the secondary data at this time. Why I'm not too sure. Thanks for any help (and for CCing me on your reply).
