Setting up a primary DNS zone with Mac OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard Training from lynda.com

I've tried the CNAME on mail and DNS flags this entry as illegal, why is this? So I've added a Machine (A) record for mail.

Thanx for this brief, clear, concise example/explanation. =)

I need to know since my Dnndns.com (takes care of my dynamic ip) has my MX record, how do I resolve that? When I do an MX search (OSX network tool) on my FQDN, port 25, it indicates it found my MX record (which it should).

I need to know if my router is running DNS, which it is, for the outside world, does OSX serverer running DNS conflict? Do I also need to include the OSX server IP in the router section for pri/sec DNS?

Hey. Very nice video. But I have a question.

I have a Mac Mini here with 10.6. I want to use my .tk domain (msdr.tk) on my MacOS. The domain accepts MX, CNAME and of course A records. I want to use A-Record, since it looks most stable.

Carefull, my IP changes every night! So that is a big problem I do have. What shall I do?

What I do, rather than pay for a static Ip, go to Dyndns.com. Well known service. They will provide you software if your router doesn't have it built in, to monitor your gateway, then update the new IP to resolve to your registered domain name. The service is free. They also host MX records too. So in your router, you forward port 80 to your Mac's IP (either static or reserved) and you are good to go.

How do I get a website to resolve that is hosted on this server. Resolved externally to the outside world, not to someone on the network. I created hosts ns1 and ns2 at godaddy and changed the nameservers for the domain and now need to know what needs to be done to get it to resolve. I followed the instructions on this video but still a no go. What am I missing?

[curtis]

This doesn't talk about how setup like ns1, I can't get this resolved
