Sample setup of DNS service
This sample setup assumes that you have already done two things:
1. You have registered your domain name. For more information on registering
a domain name, visit the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN) at http://www.icann.org.
2. You have created the Web site on the RaQ 4. For instructions on how to do
this, see “Developing Web pages” on page 145 and “Directory structure” on
page 175.
In the following examples, we will configure a sample Web site called
“www.mydomain.com” for Web service and email service using a sample
IP address 192.168.10.10.
The recommended minimum configuration for Web and email service requires
these records:
• An Address (A) Record for mydomain.com which resolves to 192.168.10.10
• An Address (A) Record for www.mydomain.com which resolves to
192.168.10.10
• A Mail Server (MX) Record for mydomain.com which resolves to
www.mydomain.com
• A Reverse Address (PTR) record for 192.168.10.10 which points to
mydomain.com
☞
Important: Substitute your domain name and IP address where the
sample domain name or sample IP address appears.
