Search Again: Re: "Boot file setup" From: Men & Mice Support Date: Monday, May 17, 2004 Time: 12:10:54 pm Create 4 zones, one for each of the names they sent (localhost, 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa, 255.in-addr.arpa, and 0.in-addr.arpa). I'm not sure what they want you to have in the last two, but the first two should look something like this: ____________________________________________________________________ localhost: ========== @ NS @ @ A 127.0.0.1 ____________________________________________________________________ 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa: ===================== @ NS localhost. 1 PTR localhost. ____________________________________________________________________ Those are shown in shorthand notation, without the SOA records (which are basically irrelevant for these zones). You can copy these records and paste them into the newly-created zones in QuickDNS Manager. Be sure to remove any NS records QuickDNS creates for you, as they aren't appropriate for these special zones. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 2:35 PM +0200 5/17/04, Jona Tallieu wrote: >Hi all, > >we are still using QDNS on OS9. > >Now, for the first time we are going to be primary for a .FR domains. > >We got a mail back from FR-NIC saying that our nameserver is not OK: > > >-----------------------------------------------> >4.
