I need to change the authorative DNS server from one that is managed by someone else to one I have control over.<br />
<br />
What is the best way to be sure I know all the entries I need to put in?<br />
<br />
I used the NsLookup tool on the site network-tools.com, did a query type &quot;any&quot; and query class &quot;any&quot; to the server that is currently authorative. <br />
<br />
I believe the results i got were complete <br />
SOA, 2 NS, an MX and an A record for the site along with 3 other A records (2 for the name servers and one for a webmail name)

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
