I just got my first dedicated server yesterday and started reading the docs and admin help pages. Today I set up my DNS settings after registering my domain. I would greatly appreciate any of the more experienced users to review what I did below and offer me any advice or an experienced summary of what I did because I'm unsure about what I'm doing.
Using DA v1.23.4 on a CentOS server
I have this set up in my admin on my server through the DA control -
default domain set up as user - web-host-site.com
my server is named server.blazingbiz.com
My server IP is 206.51.236.72
I have six IPs up to 206.51.236.77
I'm using .73 and .74 for ns1.web-host-site.com and ns2.web-host-site.com respectively
All of my other Cnames and A names point to 206.51.236.72
ftp A 206.51.236.72
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mail A 206.51.236.72
ns1.web-host-site.com. A 206.51.236.73
ns2.web-host-site.com. A 206.51.236.74
pop A 206.51.236.72
web-host-site.com. A 206.51.236.72
www A 206.51.236.72
web-host-site.com. NS ns1.web-host-site.com.
web-host-site.com. NS ns2.web-host-site.com.
imap MX 10
mail MX 10
pop MX 10
smtp MX 0
imap CNAME web-host-site.com.
mobilemail CNAME web-host-site.com.
smtp CNAME web-host-site.com.
webmail CNAME web-host-site.com.
Some of these I copied from my registrar which is updaddy.com, they had all the webmail and mobilemail sub names there so I just copied what they did and made the records in my registery panel at updaddy.com mirror what's in my DNS Admin - so they both are identical to what's above
My questions -
What did I just do and is it right or do I need to fix anything?
What are TTL TXT Record and SPF Record?
With these special features like mobilemail, smtp, webmail as subnames - how do I map these to special features on my server, what good are they to have for?
Thanks in advance,
Rafael
