hi, i just setup named in a box. This box #1 is acting as the DNS server for my LAN. The domain I added in the box #1 is able to be resolved by the LAN which the DNS server is pointing to it. So, I called that named is properly working rite now.
What confuses me are :
1). The MX Records. I use this mxtoolbox [dot] com/index.aspx page to check my MX. Sometimes it shows a valid records like this :
Preference Host Name IP Address TTL
30 a.domain.com 1.2.3.4 3600
but if i refreshed the page, sometimes it will shows :
Preference Host Name IP Address TTL
10 a.domain.com.domain.com 1.2.3.4 3600
Why is that happening? If I looked it up a few times, it will shows correct values again.. Did I misconfigured something in named conf or its just the mxtoolbox.com page that causing that?
This is how MX configured in my zone file :
Code:
$TTL 3600
$ORIGIN domain.com.
@ IN SOA a.domain.com. admin.domain.com. (
2008101009 ; serial
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum
IN NS ns1.domain.com.
IN MX 30 ex.domain.com.
IN A 1.2.3.4
mail IN A 1.2.3.4
is there anything incorrect ?
2). Do I need to add reverse zone? sorry but I still not understand about what this reverse zone for.
