FW: question about structure

[VansEvers Mr. Frank W]

My zone file is aa.usmc.mil and has all these,
Then I have 222.222.222.in-addr.arpa with the PTR records

How do you mean, I am using windows NT DNS.

Usmc.mil
aa.usmc.mil ns1....
aa.usmc.mil  ns2....
aa.usmc.mil  SOA
aa.usmc.mil MX
then
aa.usmc.mil
ns1 a xxx
ns2 a xxx
exch a xxxx
www  a ????

These records don't all go in the same zone file you know, yes?  The
NS and glue records go in the zone file for usmc.mil and the rest go
in the zone file for aa.usmc.mil.

You have to have it resolve to the address rather than the name
(i.e. use an A record not a CNAME record) but otherwise yes.  Be aware
that DNS has no knowledge of http, so the "http://" parts of what you
specified above are not relevant to DNS.
