Can anyone recommend a good document on the web that explains all the
format & syntax of a DNS zone file? Need to know the exact function of
things like "$ORIGIN", the meaning of asterisks, etc.
For example in a simple domain zone file like this:
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
company.com. IN SOA nameserver.isp.com. admin.isp.com. (
6587 ; serial
3600 ; refresh
900 ; retry
604800 ; expires
600 ) ; minimum ttl
IN NS nameserver.isp.com.
IN NS nameserver2.isp.com.
IN A 111.111.111.111
IN MX 10 company.com.
$ORIGIN company.com.
www IN A 111.111.111.111
newserver IN A 222.222.222.222
IN MX newserver.iinspect.com.
* IN A 001.001.001.001
what does the " IN MX newserver.iinspect.com." really do?
and the asterisk in the last line: "* IN A 001.001.001.001"?
and the dots at the end of everything?
Thanks!
