Single server shop. &nbsp;Go to Control Panels to see what DNS the server is setup to use.<br />
<br />
For the first entry, the server uses itself.<br />
FOr the 2nd entry, is has 127.0.0.1 &nbsp;(which I know is just saying 'yourself')<br />
<br />
Should that entry be there? &nbsp;Is it doing any harm? &nbsp;Should I just remove it? &nbsp;We use root hints and no forwarders.<br />

Thank you.
