[nflug] dns setup questions learning

[Darin Perusich]

you can host all of your zones forward and reverse on the same machine.
your SOA record should look something like this:

-- BEGIN --
$TTL 2W
@               IN SOA          ns1.yourzone.com.   root (
                                2006021406      ; serial
                                2D              ; refresh
                                4H              ; retry
                                6W              ; expiry
                                1W )

		IN MX           10 smtp.yourzone.com.
                IN NS           ns1.yourzone.com.

-- END --

do NOT use adelphia IP addresses for you zone, you should be using one
of the private network spaces like 192.168.0.0/24. in your named.conf
set forwarders to adelphia dns servers.

use the host or nslookup commands to test you dns setup.
	i.e.> host host.yourzone.com localhost
