Dear Experts:
Iam in process of configuring the split dns for the zimbra mail server which is behind the firewall, as of now we have outsourced the mail services for which the relay server (fetch mails) is placed in the office (LAN) now we have decided to configure the mail server in the LAN for the same domain.
For this i have taken the step of adding the IP address (public ip ) in the domain control panel for the MX record and set the value higher than the existing.
Now i will not able to install the server as mail.abc.com as it is already there and do not want to disturb hence installed mail server as srv1.abc.com and about to configure the split dns here i have doubts mentioned below:
1. while configuring the split dns in the hosts file of the new mail server what should i give
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.250 srv1.abc.com mail
OR
192.168.1.250 srv1.abc.com srv1
2. created file /etc/bind/db.abc.com
;
; BIND data file for abc.com
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA mail OR srv1.abc.com. admin.abc.com. (
070725 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
@ IN NS mail OR srv1
IN MX 10 mail OR srv1
IN A 192.168.1.250
mail or srv1 IN A 192.168.1.250
------------------------------------
please suggest me in the above whether it should be mail OR srv1
ASKER
/etc/bind/db.abc.com
; BIND data file for mydomain.com
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA srv1.abc.com. root.abc.com. (
2011051700 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
@ IN NS srv1
IN MX 20 srv1
IN A 192.168.1.230
srv1 IN A 192.168.1.230
Please suggest me is this correct.
