Configuring a primary DNS server
A primary DNS server maintains a list of name records and their associated
IP addresses. This list is made available to other DNS servers if your domain is
registered with your country-specific domain-naming organization. Your Internet
service provider (ISP) can help you register your Internet server.
To configure a primary DNS server for your RaQ XTR:
1. Select Server Management > Control Panel. The “Service Settings” table
appears.
2. Click the check box for Domain Name System (DNS) Server to turn it on (if
it is not already turned on).
3. Click Save Changes.
4. Click the green pencil icon next to the DNS service in the “Service Settings”
table. The “DNS Settings for <sitename>” table appears.
5. Select Reverse Lookup (PTR) from the Add... pull-down menu.
