Dear all
I know this is a really newbie question. But I have to help a public school to solve some problems in their webserver/formmail, and have no way of testing since the DNS is done at a beaurocratic place. I can tell them _once_ how the DNS should look like, and there's no reverse :( This is the setup: - The school has its own domain, say schoolx.yz. - They run this web-server with the public IP-address a.b.c.d. - We have the need to run a SMTP daemon on the same server I would like to - keep the canonical name of the machine neutral, say iron.schoolx.yz. i.e the reverse lookup of IP a.b.c.d should give iron.schoolx.yz - www.schoolx.yz should be an alias to iron.schoolx.yz - mail.schoolx.yz too - iron does _not_ relay mail - only the host should be able to send mail, calling to the SMTP daemon of the localhost. - the outgoing mail should carry from addresses in the form user@schoolx.yz - local users and mail aliases should recieve mail addressed to user@schoolx.yz. - our provider's mail server should store incoming mail in case the machine or the SMTP daemon is down So it is a straightforward setup with no tricks. Could a friendly soul post a configuration for bind including the reverse lookup? As already mentioned, we have to submit that to this governmnet place, there's no way of "talking" to them :( regards Arun |
