Setup: Gentoo linux (kernel 2.6.15-r3)
bind-9.3.2
sendmail-8.13.4
Using bind/named as simple authoritative home lan server
I want to get a correct MX set for my local lan mailserver but using
the Bind and DNS 4th ed I don't find examples that are really
complete. All the index hits on MX still leave me wondering what if
anything needs to go into the reverse pointer file for the zone.
Currently I have this pair of zone files and below the log from
starting named with those in place.
zone.local.net0

$TTL 1D

wap IN A 192.168.0.50

revp.192.168.0 Do I need something in here regarding the MX besides a
pointer to its A record?
Aside: Does the TTL need to be in the reverse file? Named complains
about the SOA record not being at the top.

Now about these logs (wrapped for mail), they seem pretty normal except
the one about named using an obsolete setsocket.
Any one know if that is something I need to worry about.
