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

Watch the entire course at http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=50684&utm_source=youtub...

In Mac OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard Essential Training, server expert Sean Colins shows how to set up a brand-new server or migrate existing data to a new Snow Leopard Server installation. The course explains how to build a custom image that will automatically set up hundreds of client machines using the System Image Utility, and how to establish groups using the Workgroup Manager. Each chapter demonstrates how to set up a different server option, including mail, calendaring, and printing, services required in most office environments, but the course also shows features unique to Snow Leopard like Podcast Producer and Wiki Server. The course finishes with a demonstration of how to use Time Machine with an Open Directory archive to backup corporate data.

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.

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.

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?
