this simple task (suppose to) wasted my whole weekend. I still can't
figure out what I did wrong. I keep getting this error message when I
click on "submit" button:
Go back and fix these errors:
nscheck: RP TXT field is missing
So I click on back, and double check again and again the PP TXT field,
can't find anything wrong.. here is my file:
-----
; Name Servers
coolnow.com. IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
coolnow.com. IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.
coolnow.com. IN RP hotister at hotmail.com.
hotister.coolnow.com. IN TXT "T.T. Lee, NIC handle: TT309"
; addresses for the canonical names
; Many emailers expect the name localhost to exist
; in a domain with this specific, reserved address.
; 127/8 or 127/255.0.0.0 is the address of LOOPBACK-NET
; 127.0.0.1 is reserved to mean this host on the LOOPBACK-
localhost.coolnow.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
; The IP addresses below are reserved for networks
; not connected to the InterNet. They are not routable by
; most publicly accessible backbones and are here as an
; example only.
-------
And I read the FAQ again and again, here is what it said:
=======
nscheck: RP TXT field is missing
RP records are always of the following format:
<name.zone.top-level-zone> IN RP <email address> <TXT RR name>
where:
<name.zone.top-level-zone> is the name of the record
<email address> is an email address in DNS format (with the @ replaced
by dots)
<TXT RR name> is the name of an associated TXT record with additional
contact information about the human being who can respond to problems
with this zone. Usually this includes a telephone number and/or a NIC
handle, as assigned by the appropriate registrar (InterNic, ARIN, RIPE
or APNIC.) These NIC handles are not the same as your userid, and
cannot be made up.
========
According to the "example" provide by granitecanyon.com, this is what
it should look like:
; Name Servers
coffee.com. IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
coffee.com. IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.
; multiple RP records authorize others to submit zone changes
; from the email address in the first field after the RP
; This email address is in DNS-email format. That is,
; the '@' (at-sign) is replaced by '.' (dot or period.)
coffee.com. IN RP juan.tea.com. Juan.Valdez.coffee.com.
coffee.com. IN RP juanita.tea.com. Juanita.Valdez.coffee.com.
Juan.Valdez.coffee.com. IN TXT "Juan Valdez, NIC handle: JUAN123"
Juanita.Valdez.coffee.com. IN TXT "Juanita Valdez, RIPE NIC handle:
JUANITA"
