Search Again: Re: RFC? From: Men & Mice Support Date: Tuesday, February 5, 2002 Time: 1:03:56 pm There are several RFC's that give somebody's idea of optimal DNS records. They all disagree, and none of them are even recommendations, let alone standards. Some mail server admins configure their mail servers to reject mail if the sending domain doesn't have an A record. Seems odd to me to require that, but there it is. Is there any reason you would not want such a record? I mean, it's often useful for websites to be accessible with or without the "www.". ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 1:58 PM -0600 2/5/02, Mia's Virtual Post Office wrote: >Is there an RFC for setting up DNS, I mean is there a specifc RFC that >says you should have an A record for "domain.com"? > >jer (jer@mia.net) > >Bella Mia, Inc. >High Speed Wireless - www.dslone.com >Domain Registration - www.thednsplace.com >Web Hosting and Colocation - www.hostdrive.com >Nation Wide Dialup 5 years and running - www.mia.net > > *** Ask us about our "Multi-Burst" Product! *** > >"The filter war is an arms race which neither spammers nor consumers can >win and which can only be stopped by outlawing spam."
