Initially I setup first.last.name zone and then
I changed the zone to last.name and created
the MX records as indicated by others:
last.name pointing to first.last.name
but you are right that is not working
as last.name is not a valid hostname even
after creating an A record pointing last.name
to an IP address.
Further, if I perform a dig on last.name, the
dns servers at root level tend to query the
nic.name servers and only return one record
that is SOA for the nic.name zone:
;; AUTHORITY RECORDS:
name. 300 SOA a3.nstld.com. hostmaster.nic.name. (
200357281 serial
10800 refresh (3 hours)
300 retry (5 mins)
1209600 expire (14 days)
300 ) minimum (5 mins)
;; Total query time: 5 msec
but if I dig the last.name from my own DNS Server
it will show the same records I configured.
The question, do I have to setup an A record with
nic.name to point to my server IP address in order
to make it work.
Simply I see that my DNS is only authorative for
first.last.name while
last.name is under nic.name
Thanks all for the prompt response.
Thank You,
